Rishabh Pant and Arshdeep Singh put on impressive shows to help India thump Bangladesh by 60 runs in their T20 World Cup fixture against Bangladesh in New York. Chasing 183, Bangladesh were restricted to 120/9 in 20 overs with Arshdeep and Shivam Dube claiming two wickets each. Earlier, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya put on an impressive display of power-hitting to help India post 182/5 against Bangladesh. Pant smashed 53 off just 32 balls before retiring, while Hardik hit an unbeaten 40 to playdown the talks surrounding his form.

Although Virat Kohli didn’t play, it was a good warm-up for Team India ahead of its campaign opener against Ireland on June 05 at the same venue. The conditions today weren’t really conducive to run-scoring. There was some awkward bounce, and the pitch seemed slow with the ball not really coming onto the bat. Moreover, the outfield too wasn’t the fastest, with puffs of sand coming off upon contact with the ball in some parts of the field. It will thus be interesting how India approaches its game, especially at this venue, where it has to play three matches, including the big one against Pakistan on June 9. 

That will be all from us for tonight. Tune in and follow our coverage of the T20 World Cup, which begins tomorrow at 6 AM IST with USA and Canada facing off in the tournament opener.
