From inviting India to bat on a slow surface to reaching the target in style, Bangladesh stayed in command. Smart out-cricket, no dropped catches and the shift in gear when needed saw Bangladesh script a historic first T20I win over the host here on Sunday.
Slow pitch
On the Ferozeshah Kotla pitch that offered slow and low bounce, Mushfiqur Rahim led the charge like he is expected to. Overall, the visiting top-order batsmen proved better equipped to deal with the challenges thrown at them and eventually, the punishing seven-wicket win was validation of their self-belief on Sunday evening.
Following this drubbing, second in succession after batting first, India needs to bring out its ‘A’ game in the remaining two outings. Otherwise, it will be hard to deny Bangladesh its first-ever series triumph over the host.
