Hyderabad: The third T20I of the bilateral series between India and Bangladesh in Hyderabad saw a run-fest on display as the Indian batters smacked boundaries every now and then. They posted the second-highest T20I total of 297/6 and are placed only behind the highest score of 314/3 for Nepal vs Mongolia.
The Indian batters started going gung-ho from the very first delivery and it resulted in a mammoth total. Sanju Samson scored a blistering hundred while Suryakumar Yadav amassed a half-century at a brisk pace. Riyan Parag and Hardik Pandy also played cameos at the back end to help the team pile up a huge total.
