India Clinches 3-0 Series Sweep with 133-Run Win Against Bangladesh

Sanju Samson’s explosive century and a record total leave Bangladesh reeling in the final T20I.

In a thrilling display of batting prowess, India secured a commanding 133-run victory over Bangladesh in the third T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, completing a clean sweep of the series at 3-0. The standout performer was Sanju Samson, whose blistering 40-ball hundred electrified the crowd and propelled India to a staggering total of 297 runs the highest score ever recorded in T20I cricket.

Samson opened the innings with an aggressive mindset, launching a breathtaking assault on the Bangladesh bowlers. His innings featured five consecutive sixes off Rishad Hossain, leaving fans in awe and marking his first T20I century. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya also joined the party, contributing quick runs and keeping the momentum high. Riyan Parag’s late fireworks added the finishing touches, with India smashing an incredible 22 sixes throughout their innings.

Chasing a daunting target, Bangladesh struggled to keep pace. Despite some spirited resistance from captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who fought valiantly, the team ultimately fell short, crumbling under pressure. India’s bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi, were relentless, bundling Bangladesh out for 164 and securing a comfortable victory.

The series showcased India’s all-around dominance, leaving Bangladesh to ponder their strategies. In the previous matches held in Delhi and Gwalior, the visitors had struggled to keep up with India’s explosive batting and disciplined bowling. As the final match concluded, fans celebrated not just a series win but a demonstration of the talent and depth within the Indian squad.

With this emphatic victory, India cements its status as a formidable force in T20I cricket, while Bangladesh will head home reflecting on the lessons learned from this challenging series.
