India vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I Highlights: India produced yet another commanding show and defeated Bangladesh by 86 runs in the second T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. The outcome helped India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Chasing a stiff 222, the Indian bowlers never allowed Bangladesh to settle as the visitors lost seven wickets under 100 runs and eventually finished at 135/9 in 20 overs. If we look at Indian bowlers Nitish Reddy and Varun Chakaravarthy picked two wickets each, while Arshdeep Singh, Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Mayank Yadav scalped one wicket each. Earlier, India didn't have the best of start after being invited to bat first. However, an explosive show by Nitish and Rinku Singh helped India pile a staggering 221/9 on the board. Nitish playing his second T20I smashed 74 off 34 balls and stitched a crucial 48-ball 108 stand for the fourth wicket with Rinku. The latter also smashed a 26-ball half-century before getting out for 53(29). Hardik Pandya then connected some big hits like he did in the previous encounter before getting out for 32(19) in the final over of the innings. Riyan Parag blasted 15 in just six balls. Meanwhile, Bangladesh started the proceedings on a strong note as Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib scalped a wicket each to pack openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma cheaply. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed in the final over of the powerplay by Mustafizur Rahman. The hosts had crushed Bangladesh by seven wickets in Gwalior in the previous encounter.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pitch report by Abhinav Mukund
"The second T20 international promises to be a run-fest. On this pitch, a lot of runs have been scored historically in the past. Not a big ground by any stretch of imagination. 55m and 63m square, 72m straight down the ground. This has been a fabulous pitch in the IPL. It's been 200+ consistently. It seems really hard, it's going to be a nightmare for the bowlers to bowl on this surface. It looks like one of those surfaces where even 200 might not be enough. Recently, a local T20 tournament, 300 runs were scored on this same surface. Teams that have batted first have won the games - five out five in the IPL. I'll bat first, but with the dew around, you never know."
