Jaiswal, Pant steady India

September 19, 2024

India 59-3 (16 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Pant pounces on a wide half-volley from Rana as he drills it through the covers for a four and hits the next to deep point for one.

Rana goes for the yorker but Jaiswal does well to clip the full delivery through midwicket for two runs before he is beaten last ball as the pacer gets some extra bounce.

Taskin comes back for his second spell, replacing Mahmud, who bowled an excellent first spell of 3/14 in seven overs.

A single each to the two batters before Pant pokes away from his body and is beaten and he solidly blocks the last two balls.

The two left-handers have grown in confidence, having put on 25 runs from 41 balls so far to steady the ship after three wickets fell in the opening over.
