India Claims 2nd T20I Victory: India emerged victorious against Bangladesh in the rain-interrupted second T20I, winning by 19 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis (DLS) method at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Dayalan Hemalatha’s unbeaten 41 off 24 balls proved crucial as India moved 2-0 up in the series, setting the stage for a potential series victory in Sylhet.
Despite early setbacks, with Shafali Varma falling for a duck, Hemalatha’s stellar performance propelled India ahead before rain curtailed play in the 5.2nd over, ultimately leading to the match’s premature end.
India’s spinners dominated, confounding Bangladesh’s batters and restricting them to 119 runs. Notable performances included Radha Yadav’s 3 wickets for 19 runs and Shreyanka Patil’s 2 wickets for 24 runs. Murshida Khatun’s 46-run innings was a standout for Bangladesh, but India’s bowlers ensured they couldn’t post a daunting total.
With this victory, India has firmly asserted their dominance in the series, putting them in a commanding position heading into the next matches.
