Bangladesh suffered a crushing 133-run loss to India in the final T20I of the three-match series on Saturday in Hyderabad.

India set a formidable target with a record-breaking total of 297 for six—their highest in T20Is and the second-highest in the format's history. In response, Bangladesh managed only 164 for seven.

Opting to bat first, India dominated the Bangladeshi bowlers from the outset. Sanju Samson led the assault, scoring a quickfire century off just 40 balls.

Four Indian batters maintained a strike rate above 200: Samson scored 111 off 47 balls, Suryakumar Yadav added 75 off 35, Riyan Parag hit 34 off 13, and Hardik Pandya contributed 47 off 18.

Bangladesh's bowlers struggled to contain India’s firepower. Tanzim Hasan Sakib conceded a record 66 runs but managed to pick up three wickets, including two in the final over. He now holds the record for most runs conceded by a Bangladeshi bowler in a T20I inning.

In their chase, Bangladesh failed to build the momentum needed to challenge India’s massive total. Towhid Hridoy scored a fifty, while Litton Das added 42, both at strike rates above 150. However, their efforts fell short of what was required.

Ravi Bishnoi claimed three wickets for India, with Mayank Yadav taking two.

This defeat caps off a winless tour for Bangladesh, who also lost the preceding two-match Test series.

The match marked the final T20I appearance for Mahmudullah Riyad, who retires after 141 games in the format. Though his career includes many memorable performances, his last outing saw Bangladesh succumb to a tough defeat.
