NEW DELHI: Hardik Pandya's stellar all-round performance and Kuldeep Yadav's clever bowling helped India secure a convincing 50-run victory against Bangladesh in their second Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup on Saturday, positioning them favorably for a semifinals berth. India scored 196 for five, thanks to contributions from Virat Kohli, Shivam Dube, and Hardik Pandya. In response, Bangladesh struggled to 146/8 in their 20 overs.
Virat Kohli (37 off 28) found some rhythm at the crease before Shivam Dube (34 off 24) and Hardik Pandya (50 not out off 27) pushed India to their highest total at the venue. Pandya provided the final flourish, completing his half-century off the last ball of the innings.
