IND VS BAN Nagpur T20I Live Cricket Score: Chahar 6/7 Gives India 30-Run Win, Clinch Series 2-1

IND vs BAN, 3rd T20I Nagpur: Both India and Bangladesh have their fair share of problems in all aspects. For India, the form of Shikhar Dhawan might be a worry. It is a strange tale for Dhawan, who was the leading run-getter in the format in 2018. However, the debate will once again be around Rishabh Pant, whose keeping in Rajkot confounded fans. He missed a stumping in controversial circumstances and another one was just about acceptable. With Pant struggling, the pressure will only grow with each and every match. India's bowling, particularly Khaleel Ahmed, struggled in both Delhi and Rajkot. The spinners, in particular, Yuzvendra Chahal has been impressive. India's fielding, though, is the major area of concern as they dropped catches at crucial times. They were made to pay in Delhi, they escaped in Rajkot.

22:49 hrs IST: Brilliant from Deepak Chahar! He takes a hat-trick and takes 6/7, which is the best haul in the history of T20Is, breaking the record set by Ajantha Mendis. India win by 30 runs and the series 2-1.

22:23 hrs IST: WICKETS! That is probably the game for India. Superb stuff from Shivam Dube. He nails the yorker brilliantly and cleans up Naim for a magnificent 81. Next ball, Afif Hossain chips a ball back to Dube and he gets his third wicket. Bangladesh 126/6 in the 16th over
