Time for the presentation ceremony...
Rinku Singh is down for a quick chat. He says he backs himself at tough times to keep things calm and believes in himself. Adds that he has practised a lot to bat the way he does and keeps talking to MS Dhoni for his input which helps. Mentions that his talk with Nitish was just to stitch a partnership and make the most of any bad balls that came their way which all started flowing after that No ball went for a six.
Earlier in the game, considering the dew factor, Najmul Hossain Shanto opted to bowl first. Right from the first over, it was clear that this wasn’t a typical Delhi batting paradise, with inconsistent bounce and balls holding up in the surface. After losing their top three within the Powerplay, a 108-run partnership between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh rescued the hosts from trouble. Nitish started cautiously but shifted gears smoothly as the innings progressed. The Bangladeshi spinners also faltered several times with their lines and lengths during the middle overs, further aiding the duo's recovery. Cameos from Hardik Pandya and Riyan Parag propelled India to 221. For Bangladesh, their pacers excelled with Taskin Ahmed being the pick of the bowlers but the spin duo of Mehidy Hasan and Rishad Hossain went for a combined total of 101 runs from their 7 overs.
In most cases, a strong Powerplay is imperative for the chasing side when chasing totals in excess of 200. Unfortunately for the visitors, this did not materialize, as they lost three wickets within the Powerplay. Consequently, they were left playing catch-up for the remainder of their innings. They struggled to build any substantial partnerships as India consistently chipped away at their wickets. Every bowler Suryakumar Yadav turned to, delivered for the side, with seven bowlers used throughout the night, and each one claiming at least one wicket. Bangladesh never found their rhythm in the chase, and with the Delhi surface not being its usual batting-friendly self, the balls stopping and holding up only added to their difficulties.
A comprehensive win for India to put the series to bed! Though they were pushed into a corner early on with the bat, they managed to find a way back and were never under pressure with the ball. A win by 86 runs marks India's biggest win in terms of runs against Bangladesh in T20I cricket. As for Bangladesh, they started well with the ball but will rue the missed opportunity of letting India off the hook after reducing them to 41/3, allowing them to recover and reach a total of 221.

6.6Straight and full, on middle, Mahmudullah makes a good block straight to the bowler. Just the three runs and a wicket of Abhishek Sharma's first over!
