India progressed to the grand finale of the Asian Games T20I 2023 after defeating Bangladesh by nine wickets in the first semifinal. Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field in Hangzhou hosted the one-sided affair.

On a track that turned out to be better to bat as the innings progressed, India asked Bangladesh to bat first. Tigers opener Parvez Hossain Emon looked in good touch, scoring 23 runs off 32 balls. However, other batters faltered badly.

In the lower order, wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali stood out as the top scorer, amassing 24 runs off 29 balls. Rakibul Hasan's 6-ball 14-run knock steered Bangladesh to a below-par total of 96/9 in 20 overs.

Left-arm spinner Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore was the wrecker-in-chief, scalping three crucial wickets to turn the tide in India’s favor. He received good support from Washington Sundar, who scalped two wickets.

In response, Team India lost their last match centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal for a four-ball duck. Nevertheless, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Varma stood tall to finish off the chase in just 9.2 overs.

Gaikwad went on to score 40 off 26 balls while Varma amassed a 26-ball 55-run knock with two fours and six sixes. With the grand victory, India sealed a spot in the final. Pakistan and Afghanistan will be fighting in the second semifinal on Friday, October 6.
