India beat Bangladesh on Thursday in a World Cup match in Pune on Thursday as Virat Kohli finished the game in style. He hit a six to end the game and complete his century at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
This was their fourth successive win at this World Cup. They won the game by seven wickets. Bangladesh, on the other hand, had their third straight loss after being beaten by New Zealand and England.
India were off to a good start with their top orders making an 88-run partnership. Shubman Gill scored his fifty while Rohit Sharma scored 48.
Spin bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja engineered a top-order collapse as India restricted Bangladesh to 256-8 in a World Cup match in Pune on Thursday.
Bangladesh chose to bat after winning the toss against India in the 17th match of the ICC World Cup on Thursday. The match is being played in Pune where the pitch is traditionally considered a high-scoring one and despite rain on the eve of the match, clear skies are expected for the game.
Bangladesh openers Tanzid Hasan, whose 51 was his maiden one-day international fifty, and Liton Das (66) were both in fine touch.
The Tigers– who have won three of their last four ODIs against India – were well-placed at 93-0 only to slump to 137-4 after Najmul Hossain Shanto, deputising as Bangladesh captain for the injured Shakib Al Hasan, won the toss on a good batting pitch.
But Mushfiqur Rahim’s 38 and fellow veteran Mahmudullah’s dashing 46 bolstered the total before Shoriful Islam ended the innings with a spectacular six over extra cover off Jasprit Bumrah.
Jadeja took a miserly 2-38 from his 10 overs and Yadav, who made the initial breakthrough, 1-47.
After some testing early overs, 22-year-old left-hander Tanzid attacked both Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
He then struck their fellow paceman Shardul Thakur for 16 runs in three balls, with two sixes separated by a stylish on-driven four.
Tanzid, whose highest score in eight previous ODIs was 16, completed a 41-ball fifty before he was lbw to left-arm wrist-spinner Yadav to leave Bangladesh 93-1 in the 15th over.
Liton was still there but he carelessly lofted Jadeja to long-off.
India were a bowler down after Hardik Pandya managed just three balls in the ninth over before limping off with ankle damage.
Virat Kohli, bowling in a one-day international for the first time in six years, completed Pandya’s over.
Bangladesh had a setback even before play started when key all-rounder Shakib was ruled out with a thigh injury suffered during Friday’s eight-wicket loss to New Zealand in Chennai.
Brief scores: Bangladesh 256-8 in 50 overs (Liton Das 66, Tanzid Hasan 51) v India.
