India vs Bangladesh, 3rd T20I at Hyderabad, IND vs BDESH, Oct 12 2024 - Match Result

11.15pm Suryakumar Yadav is now invited to take the series trophy and he does with a big grin. He takes it over to his team-mates who are already ready for the photo-op. Hands it over to Nitish and Mayank, and they together raise the trophy. Suryakumar stands on the side, beside Hardik and Samson. The confetti makes the moment even better. The fans have hung around for this presentation too. Great support in Hyderabad, and thank you all for joining us on ESPNcricinfo. As the support staff join the team for a picture, we say goodbye. On behalf of Venkat Raghav and Sidharth Monga, this is Sreshth Shah saying bye!

Time for the post-match presentation.

Winning captain Suryakumar: "I think we've achieved a lot as a team. Had said wanted to have selfless cricketers and want to be a selfless team, enjoy each others' performances. That camaraderie is coming off. Gauti bhai said the same thing before the series that no one is bigger than the team, no matter you are on 49 or 99, you have to hit the ball out of the field. That's what Sanju did today. We have to be flexible when it comes to batting and bowling. Bowlers who can have to chip in. Batters have to be flexible and their performances were commendable. (Areas of improvement) Just maintain the good habits on the field. Just be the same."

Hardik Pandya is the Player of the Series for his 118 runs, wickets and five catches: "The kind of freedom skipper and coach have given is fantastic for the whole group. At the end of the day if you can enjoy the sport you can get the maximum out of yourself. When the dressing room is enjoying everyone's success you feel like doing it more. Body has been fantastic, God has been kind to always come up and help me out. Process continues, nothing changes, good days or bad days. I thought shots like my shot over cover in the last over don't come often but when they come it gives a lot of confidence."

Sanju Samson is Player of the Match for his 111: "The dressing room energy and the boys out there have a lot of happiness for me. Very happy that they are happy I did well. It can get frustrating knowing what you can do out there, and I have also felt I can do much better but with playing so many games I know how do deal with pressure and my failures because I have failed a lot. Just focus was on process and knowing you will do well. Playing for your country that pressure was there but I wanted to perform and wanted to show. But I still kept it basic and wanted to take it by one ball. The leadership tells me they back me no matter what... not just in words but in actions also. Last series I got two ducks and went back to Kerala thinking what will happen, but I'm here. My mentor tells me 'you have to hit five sixes in an over, I'm waiting for that,' I was chasing it and it happened today."

Losing captain Shanto: "We didn't play our best cricket. We didn't execute our plans as a batting unit. Couple of overs we bowled well in some matches but today we didn't bowl well. We need to believe in ourselves that we can compete against any team. We need to change our home wickets and players need to take responsibilities. (Positives and takeaways) Today the way Hridoy batted was impressive. I liked the seamers were trying to execute their plans. Our top order needs to improve though."

Here are all the records and notable stats from India's 297 from the first innings.

This win makes it ten wins in a row for India (matches) and their seventh bilateral series win at home too.

Ravi Bishnoi, 50 T20I wickets now: "Happy to reach this small milestone. Healthy competition is good pressure. I wasn't under pressure but didn't want to let go of the opportunity given tonight. I knew Shanto would play reverse sweep early because he likes it. I spotted it before releasing it. Hyderabad is a tough wicket but you have to accept it as a bowler and find a way to succeed. Back home, I had a 50-day break so wanted to work on a few good things. You'll get to see it the more I play."

The teams shake hands with their opponents and support staff. The India flags fly high and the captain Suryakumar wears a wide smile. Another person who can't stop smiling is Sanju Samson, who smacked the second-fastest century by an Indian in T20Is. Suryakumar, Hardik, Parag dazzled too. Abhishek Sharma would feel very disappointed batting only four balls on this surface.

Sijoy: "Today's match was definitely a lucky one for keralites including myself.. Sanju scoring his first T20I 100.. I am sending comments to espncricinfo for a long time "

10.42pm India's third-biggest win (by runs) in T20Is, and what a display in front of a packed holiday crowd in Hyderabad. Bangladesh haven't played very bad cricket all series, it's just that India's intent, plans, and skills in this format appeared to be so ahead of the curve that Bangladesh ended up looking pretty bad.

samyak jain: "not sure how washy will take this series. part of and bowled pretty well, took wkts but hardly got to bowl another over"

The required run rate of 142 for the final over shows how one-sided this game has been. Bangladesh have batted well courtesy Hridoy and Litton but overall, utter domination from India. Here's the final over, to be bowled by Reddy.

Nilesh: "The required rate went above 36 rpo with 29 balls to go.. that certainly must be a record in itself."
