India vs Bangladesh: 3rd T20I – Live Score

Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav smashed the ball all over the park as India managed to score 82 runs from the first six overs – the same score they had managed against Scotland back in 2021.

Highest Powerplay scores for India in T20Is

  • 82/1 vs Bangladesh, Hyderabad, 2024
  • 82/2 vs Scotland, Dubai, 2021
  • 78/2 vs South Africa, Johannesburg, 2018
  • 77/1 vs Australia, Thiruvananthapuram, 2023
  • 77/1 vs Sri Lanka, Nagpur, 2009

Earlier, India won the toss and elected to bat first as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi came in for left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh. Fast-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana was not considered for selection as he was unavailable due to a viral infection and did not travel with the Indian team to the stadium.

India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, and a win on Saturday will help them get a clean sweep over Bangladesh, who also lost the preceding Test series 2-0.

Playing XIs:

India: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav
