A clean sweep is done after thrashing Bangladesh in Chennai. India came and did the same in Kanpur, as the Men in Blue, who are currently enjoying the Test season, won the game by chasing a target of 95 runs by 7 wickets, destroying Bangladesh at 146 runs in the second innings.
If we see when India vs Bangladesh‘s second match started, fans were almost sure that they would not see any results as due to rain, days 2 and 3 were abandoned. However, what happened on day 4 turned the tides, with India thriving first with the ball, dethroning the Bangladesh batting lineup at a score of 233. When they came to bat, it was clear what to do, as the Indian team attacked the Bangladeshi bowlers, scoring 50 runs in just 3 overs. Then in just 10 overs, India pushed the score to 100 and declared at 285 and When Bangla tigers came to bat yet again, the Indian bowlers struck even harder and bowled them out at 146 runs, while the India batters chased the target of 95 runs. Now, the hopes for the WTC final grow even stronger. So, what does the updated WTC table say?
