India Vs Bangladesh Cricket Match Kanpur 2024

During the second Test match between India and Bangladesh held in Kanpur, India secured a series sweep with a 2-0 victory after a decisive win by seven wickets on Day 5. This concludes the two-match series between the teams, further cementing India’s dominance in Test cricket.

Beginning Day 5, Bangladesh resumed their innings at 26/2 but were swiftly all out for 146 runs. Key contributions in bowling from India’s Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah, who each claimed three wickets, effectively stymied the Bangladeshi batting lineup, restricting their ability to put up a competitive score.

Upon setting a target of 95 runs, India’s batting lineup started assertively but faced early setbacks, losing two wickets early in their innings. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s crucial half-century, scoring 51 runs, steadied the innings before his dismissal. Ultimately, the experienced Virat Kohli, in tandem with Rishabh Pant, guided India to victory, securing the win with seven wickets remaining.

For Bangladesh, standout bowler Mehidy Hasan Miraz took two Indian wickets, while Taijul Islam added one to his tally. Despite their efforts, the Bangladeshi bowlers could not prevent India from achieving the target with ease.

The triumph in Kanpur marks a significant achievement for India, showcasing strong performances in both bowling and batting departments. This victory adds to India’s reputation as a formidable force in cricket, particularly in home conditions.
