India is on a rampage against Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. With just 15 overs gone, India has already posted a staggering 213/3, thanks to explosive batting performances from Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav. Samson smashed an incredible 111 off 47 balls, while Suryakumar contributed a quickfire 75 off 35 deliveries.
India’s current run rate stands at a staggering 14.20, and with five overs still to go, the possibility of reaching or even surpassing the 300-run mark seems within reach. The momentum is clearly in India’s favor, with Riyan Parag and Hardik Pandya currently at the crease, and power hitters like Rinku Singh and Washington Sundar yet to come.
Key Highlights So Far:
- Sanju Samson’s 111 off 47 balls, including 11 boundaries and 8 sixes, set the tone for India’s dominance.
- Suryakumar Yadav’s explosive 75, further accelerated the Indian innings, leaving the Bangladesh bowlers under immense pressure.
- 213 runs in just 15 overs, with still 30 balls left to bat.
What Could Happen in the Final Five Overs?
If India continues with their current approach, 300 is certainly achievable. The next five overs could see a barrage of boundaries and sixes, with the likes of Riyan Parag, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh well known for their big-hitting abilities. Additionally, with Bangladesh struggling to contain the onslaught, their bowling attack seems unlikely to slow down the momentum.
Can India Create History?
If India does manage to cross the 300-run barrier, it would set a new benchmark in T20I cricket. No team has ever scored 300 in a T20I match, and this would be a monumental achievement. The previous highest total in a T20I is 278/3, made by Afghanistan against Ireland in 2019.
As India heads into the final five overs, fans are eagerly watching to see if India can break records and create history with the first-ever 300 in T20 internationals.
