India wrapped up the three-match T20I series on Sunday with a 30-run win over Bangladesh. Deepak Chahar stole the spotlight, marking his first five-wicket haul in T20 internationals. Chahar made history as the first Indian to take a hat-trick in this format, ending the match with the remarkable figures of 6/7. Shivam also contributed significantly, grabbing 3 wickets in just his third T20I game to restrict Bangladesh to 144 all out.
Shreyas Iyer hit 62 for his first T20I half-century, and KL Rahul rediscovered his touch with a confident 52. Bangladesh had won the toss and chosen to bat first, but India's start was shaky when Shafiul Islam took out Rohit Sharma in the second over.
Shikhar showed potential but fell for 19 while attempting to accelerate the run rate. The momentum shifted when Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul put together a steady 59-run stand for the third wicket, with both players scoring half-centuries. A late hitting spree by Manish ensured India finished their 20 overs with a competitive score of 174/5.
Mahmudullah acknowledged that the game slipped away after a series of quick wickets, despite a promising 98-run partnership between Mohammad Mithun and Naim. The rookie opener, Naim, played a brilliant knock of 81 to put Bangladesh in a winning position, but a sudden collapse—losing 5 wickets for just 20 runs—ended their hopes.
