India's Hardik Pandya has blasted an unbeaten 39 off 16 balls to complete a modest chase and secure a thumping seven-wicket victory with nearly eight overs to spare in the first T20 International against Bangladesh.

After whitewashing Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series, India will aim to repeat the feat in the T20I series which starts tonight at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. This will be the first-ever international match at the newly built venue and mark the return of international cricket to the city after 14 years.

India bowled out Bangladesh for 127 in the first T20 International of the three-match series here on Sunday. Asked to bat first, Bangladesh were in early trouble at 14 for two with left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh (3/14) removing both openers Litton Das and Parvez Hossain Emon cheaply.

India are taking on Bangladesh in the 1st T20I of the three-match series in a brand new cricket venue in Gwalior. While the city is not new to international cricket, cricket is returning to the city after 14 years and at a new venue.
