Sanju Samson crafted his maiden T20I century which propelled India to a gigantic 297/6 – their highest T20I score and second-highest of all time after Nepal’s 314/3. Samson thumped 111 off just 47 balls and was ably supported by captain Suryakumar Yadav (75 off 35) in a mammoth 173-run partnership off just 69 balls.
Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13) delivered the finishing kicks as the hosts ended up hitting as many as 25 fours and 22 sixes. Riding on this huge total, India galloped to a 3-0 series win with Bangladesh falling short by 133 runs in veteran Mahmudullah’s T20I farewell.
Towhid Hridoy notched up his 50 with a six and remained unbeaten on 63, the only bright spot for Bangladesh with the bat. It wasn’t, however, anywhere close to enough as Bangladesh could only manage 164 in the end.
