India secured an 86-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I, clinching the series 2-0 on Wednesday. 

India's massive total of 221/9 was powered by Nitish Kumar Reddy's explosive 74 off 34 balls, which included seven sixes, and Rinku Singh's quick 53 off 29 balls. Their century partnership helped India recover from early wickets and post a formidable total.

In reply, Bangladesh struggled to build momentum, finishing at 135/9 in their 20 overs. 

Mahmudullah's valiant 41 was the only highlight in an otherwise disappointing batting effort. 

India's bowlers, led by Reddy and Varun Chakravarthy, who each picked up two wickets, ensured that Bangladesh never posed a serious threat.

The third and final match of the series will be played in Hyderabad on Saturday, but India has already taken an unassailable lead.
