6.25 pm: Hello and Welcome to our coverage of the second T20 international between India and Bangladesh, which will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. We are just 5 minutes away from the toss.

Delhi T20I Preview:

India has been so dominant that Bangladesh seems completely out of answers when it comes to matching the "skills and mentality" of Suryakumar Yadav and his squad. With the way things are going, don’t expect much to change when the two teams face off again in the second T20I on Wednesday.

India's young guns are making life tough for a full-strength Bangladesh side, and the visitors haven’t quite lived up to the reputation of being the gritty underdogs they’re usually known as. Meanwhile, India is flexing its muscle on home soil, showing off that relentless, no-mercy approach they thrive on.

After a near-perfect performance in the first match, it’s unlikely India will mess with their winning combination. They’ve got the upper hand and all the momentum going into this one.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, has a lot to figure out if they want to stay alive in this three-match series. The clock’s ticking, and they need to regroup fast before India runs away with the series.
