IND vs BAN: For the fans of Indian Cricket, yesterday was a Super Sunday for them because the Women’s and the Men’s team of the Blues won their matches in the shortest format. First, the Women In Blue beat the arch-rivals, Pakistan, in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 match. After their opening loss against New Zealand Women, this win of six wickets was much needed for them.
Then the young team under Suryakumar Yadav thrashed the Bangla Tigers by seven wickets. Bangladesh continued to bat poorly on this tour of India in 2024. In Test match series also their batting was the main reason for their downfall and they lost the series by a margin of 2-0.
Yesterday in Gwalior, the home side, India won the toss and invited the visitors, Bangladesh to bat first. But the Tigers only managed to muster 127 runs and they were bundled out in 19.5 overs. In reply, The Men in Blue chased down this target in just 11.5 overs and with seven wickets in hand.
