India Defeats Bangladesh by 86 Runs in T20I

India secured an emphatic 86-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I in New Delhi, taking a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. After being put to bat first, India set a formidable target of 221 runs, bolstered by half-centuries from Nitish Kumar Reddy (74 off 34) and Rinku Singh (53 off 29). In response, Bangladesh struggled to build partnerships, collapsing to 135 runs, with Mahmudullah top-scoring with 41 runs. The Indian bowlers, including Varun Chakravarthy and Nitish Reddy, took crucial wickets, contributing to a dramatic fall of Bangladesh's batting order. With this defeat, Bangladesh has lost 15 of their last 16 T20 matches against India and will face them in a dead rubber on October 12 in Hyderabad. The series win is highlighted by India's dominant performance, marking Bangladesh's third-largest T20 defeat by runs.
