India thumps Bangladesh

June 15, 2017 5:02 pm

India cruised past Bangladesh to set up a mouthwatering Champions Trophy final against fierce rivals Pakistan.

Bangladesh looked likely to post a big total at Edgbaston, but from 154-2 they lost both Tamim Iqbal (70) and Mushfiqur Rahim (61) to Kedar Jadhav, and could only muster 264-7.

India was in complete control throughout the chase – Rohit Sharma made an unbeaten 123 and Virat Kohli 96 not out as a nine-wicket win was sealed with almost 10 overs to spare.
