Highlights of india vs bangladesh

India lost the second T20I and will be looking to bounce back from defeat and seal the series. © AFP While India have dominated teams in Test cricket and One-day Internationals (ODI) at home, they have failed to do the same in Twenty20 Internationals (T20I), and that has reflected in the team's current ranking. Ranked fifth in the world in the men's T20I list, India have managed to win just two of their last six T20I series. They drew 1-1 in the 2018/19 series in Australia, which was followed by series losses away to New Zealand and at home to Australia.

India play their next Test match in Perth. © AFP A clinical bowling performance from the Indian team ensured Australia lose the first Test of the four-match series by a 31-run margin at the Adelaide Oval.
