But India had already set up a solid foundation thanks to openers Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul.
At the end of 39 overs, India were 237 for four wickets.
Soumya Sarkar earned a breakthrough for the Tigers by removing Rohit Sharma. Rohit was on 104 when he tried to play Soumya’s delivery through the cover and gave an easy catch to Liton Das.
He hit his third century in the ongoing World Cup off 90 balls with six fours and five sixes after being dropped by Tamim on 7.
After Rohit’s removal, Rubel Hossain removed Lokesh for 77 off 92. Lokesh prodded to the wicketkeeper, and Mushfiqur Rahim did not miss the catch.
With today’s century, Rohit topped the list of most runs scorer in the World Cup. He now has 538 runs to his name with three centuries and two fifties.
Before coming to this match, Bangladesh played seven games and won three of them while the other one was washed out due to rain. The Tigers lost in the other three matches.
India, on the other hand, played seven matches so far and won five of them. However, they lost against hosts England.
Bangladesh left Mahmudullah Riyad and Mehidy Hasan Miraz out of this match to pave a way for Sabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain.
