Cricket: India has scored the second most runs in an international T20 match.
India notches second highest T20 score | 01:37Opener Sanju Samson ’s blistering century helped world champions India hammer Bangladesh in the final T20 on Saturday to sweep the series 3-0 after they posted the format’s highest total by a Test-playing nation of 6-297.
Samson hit 111 off 47 balls – his first T20 international ton – studded with 11 fours and eight sixes after India elected to bat first in Hyderabad. Samson, a wicketkeeper-batsman, stood out and named player of the match as he hammered leg-spinner Rishad Hossain for five straight sixes in an over en route to his ton in 40 balls.
But there was more punishment in store for Bangladesh as new batters Hardik Pandya, who struck 47 off 18 balls and Riyan Parag, who made a 13-ball 34, kept up the charge with regular boundaries.
