2nd T20I: Nitish Reddy, Rinku Singh Hammer Fifties As India Post 221/9 Against Bangladesh
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh struck blazing half-centuries and shared a 108-run partnership for the fourth wicket as India overcame early setbacks as they posted a massive 221/9 in 20 overs, going past 200 runs against Bangladesh for the first time in a T20I, in the second match of the three-game series here on Wednesday.
Asked to bat first at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Reddy blasted a 34-ball 74 while Rinku struck a 29-ball 53, and with Hardik Pandya stroking to a trademark 19-ball 32, India, the reigning World Champions in this format, posted a big score to maintain their chances of taking an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
India lost openers Sanju Samson (10 off 7) and Abhishek Sharma (15 off 11) and were reduced to 25/2 in three overs as Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib varied pace regularly to fox the batters on a wicket on which the ball was sticking. Suryakumar Yadav contributed only eight runs and the hosts were looking in trouble at 41/3.
