Bangladesh 6/0 in 1.2 Overs | India vs Bangladesh Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant power India to 196/5 against Bangladesh – The Times of India

India vs Bangladesh, Super 8 T20 WC Live Score: Vice-captain Hardik Pandya once again proved to be the X-factor with a fine 50 off 27 balls as India posted an impressive 196 for 5 against Bangladesh in a Super 8s game of the T20 World Cup on Saturday.

This is the highest T20I score on this ground.

Pandya hit four boundaries and three sixes and shared a 53-run stand for the fifth wicket with Shivam Dube (34 off 24 balls). Rishabh Pant (36 off 24 balls) and Virat Kohli (37 off 28 balls) were the other significant contributors.

Seamer Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2/32) was the pick of Bangladeshi bowlers.

Earlier, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and sent India in to bat.

Victory for India would put them on the brink of the semi-finals while another loss for the Tigers would effectively rule them out of contention for the last-four.

India beat Afghanistan by 47 runs in their Super Eight opener in Bridgetown while Bangladesh lost to Australia by 28 runs in a rain-hit clash in Antigua.

India, the 2007 champions, named the same team that defeated Afghanistan on Thursday, when Suryakumar Yadav scored a second successive half-century.

For Bangladesh, seamer Taskin Ahmed is replaced by Jaker Ali as the team look to shore up a struggling batting line-up.

India have won all four T20 World Cup clashes against their Asian rival and boast an overall 12-1 head-to-head record.
