Varun Chakravarthy will be playing his first T20I match after 2021 for India. Nitish Kumar Reddy was given his debut cap by Parthiv Patel and Mayank Yadav received that from Murali Karthik. Indian team looks more difficult to beat on paper. Let's see.

This is going to be the first T20I match on the newly made ground. The pitch looks good to bat on with a little bit of dry grass on it. Black soil is used for the strip and there will be no dew during the second inning as well. A batters' paradise for sure but let's see what India can take from their fierce fast bowlers while bowling first.

Litton Das and Parvez Hossain Emon opened the batting for Bangladesh as Arshdeep Singh started with the first over for India. Das hit a boundary on the fourth delivery but Singh dismissed him on the next delivery to get India's first breakthrough.

BAN - 6/1 (1)

Arshdeep Singh continued his bowling from one end and bowled Parvez Hossain Emon on the first delivery of the over. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy are the new batters at the crease.

BAN - 16/2 (3)

Varun Chakravarthy, who is making his comeback into the Indian side after three years, leaked 15 runs in his first over when he was called to bowl the fifth over of the powerplay.

BAN - 39/2 (5)

After leaking 15 runs in the first over, Varun Chakravarthy finally succeeded in getting his first international wicket after three years as Towhid Hridoy tried to go above the mid-wicket but caught Hardik Pandya in the middle.

BAN - 42/3 (7)

Mayank Yadav was called for his second over after maiden over and he dismissed the most experienced batter of the Bangla side on just the second delivery. Jaker Ali is the new batter.

BAN - 45/4 (8)

Varun Chakravarthy was called to bowl the 10th over and he dismantled Jaker Ali's wickets on the second delivery. Half of the Bangla side are back to the pavilion but the captain Shanto is still there at the crease. Mehidy Hasan Miraz comes to the crease.

BAN - 64/5 (10)

Washington Sundar was introduced into the bowling attack in the 12th over and he started well. He dismissed Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto on the last delivery of the over with a simple caught and bowl.

BAN - 75/6 (12)

Varun Chakravarthy finished his spell with figures of 4-0-31-3 after leaking 15 runs in the first over. He got rid of Rishad Hossain, who was looking dangerous, in the last over of his spell.

BAN - 102/7 (15)

Hardik Pandya came to bowl his last over and got rid of Taskin Ahmed after he was involved in a run-out with Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Taskin sacrificed his wicket to save Miraz's. Then Pandya bowled Shoriful Islam on the fifth delivery. Mustafizur Rahman is the new batter at the crease with only two overs left in the game.

BAN - 117/9 (18)

Mehidy Hasan Miraz remained unbeaten as Arshdeep Singh bowled Mustafizur Rahman on the fifth delivery of the last over to restrict Bangladesh to 127 runs. Now, India need 128 runs to win the match.

IND - 10/0 (1)

Abhishek Sharma started the second over with a six then a four. He got lucky and found another four with a lemon-cut off Taskin Ahmed's fourth delivery. But lost his wicket while trying for a single on the last delivery. He went far from his crease and fielder ran him out with a direct throw.

IND - 25/1 (2)

Yes, I think we didn't start well. In T20, first six overs is important but we didn't do well. The plan was to play positive cricket but we had to manage some overs how we want to approach. Looks like we didn't have much plan but we need to do proper plan in the next match. We need to focus on rotating the strike, T20 is not only about hitting. If we keep wickets in hand, we can get a good score. We didn't score many runs. Rishad bowled well and Fizz was also good but we didn't have enough runs.

We just tried to back our skills and what we decided in our team meetings, it worked out. The way the guys showed character playing on a new ground and the way we batted, it was great. It's a good headache to have when you are on the field on whom to bowl. Every time you have an extra option, it's a good thing. You learn something new every new game. There are always a few areas to improve on, we will sit down and talk about it in the next game.

There's breeze from the end I was bowling. I didn't get the wicket the way I wanted but the ball is coming good from the hand. It's minor changes in the run-up, in the wrist, I keep learning and exploring things. The experience is there, the more you play the better you get. Everyone bowled well, especially Mayank was very good. I guess the best thing in this format is how well you can adapt to the situation, to the wicket and to the ground dimensions as well. My motive is how well I can adapt and how quickly I can adapt.

India take a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. The next match is in New Delhi on Wednesday. Join us then. Until then, it's a goodbye from our side. Thank you and take care!
