WATCH: Riyan Parag Takes a Smart Catch Against Bangladesh; Mocks The Batter With His Wild Celebration

 India A platoon made it to the ACC Men’s Arising Asia Cup 2023 final by defeating Bangladesh at the. The match also saw a high-voltage drama and many exchanges of words taking place between the two sides.

Asked to club first, the Men in Blue plodded to get going and were whisked out for 211 runs in 49.1 overs. It was Yash Dhull ‘s flexible innings that played a vital part in India reaching a competitive aggregate. Dhull played well- drafted innings of 66 runs off 85 balls and got suitable support from Abhishek Sharma( 34).

Chasing 212 for palm, the Bangladesh innings got off to a promising launch. Mohammad Naim( 38 runs) and Tanzid Hasan( 51 runs) showed adaptability and erected a solid foundation for their platoon. still, the Indian bowlers struck at regular intervals, making it challenging for the Bangladeshi batters to make hookups.

Nishant Sindhu was the star pantomime for India with the ball, claiming a brilliant 5- fer for just 20 runs in his eight overs. The Bangladesh side eventually fell suddenly off the target and was sailed out for 160 runs in 34.2 overs.

piecemeal from sensational bowling performance, India’s fielding also played a major part in helping the platoon crop victorious. Among all the catches taken by the Indian fielders, the bone that stood out came from Riyan Parag. The all-rounder took a smart catch at the slip that displayed his brilliance and presence of mind.

It all happens on the final ball of the 32nd over when Rakibul Hasan tried a rear reach on Sindhu’s delivery but misgauged the ball fully as the white leather didn’t travel far and went in the air towards the left wing of the Parag at slip where he completed a sharp catch. The 21- time-old was quick to anticipate the ball to go in that direction and had formerly scuffled by seeing the moment of the batter. The redundancy was followed by a wild festivity from the India star, who mocked the Bangladeshi batter by firing many words at him after the smart move.
