Highlights, India vs Bangladesh, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Full cricket score: India beat B'desh, qualify for semi-finals

Most MoM awards for India in a single ODI WC:

4 – Yuvraj Singh, 2011
3 – Sachin Tendulkar, 2003
3 – Rohit Sharma, 2019*

And Bangladesh go down fighting…

This has been a tremendous effort by them. But in the end, as they say experience matters the most in crunch situations. Indian bowlers put their experience into play whereas some of the Bangladeshi batsmen threw their wickets away after getting starts. Also they missed the experience of Mahmudullah today. 

Bangladesh will now take on Pakistan at Lord’s on July 5 in their last game of the tournament and that fixture is likely to be Mashrafe Mortaza’s farewell match as well.

India reach into the semi-final of this year’s World Cup. 

This is the 7th time India have made it to the World Cup SF. (1983, 1987, 1996, 2003, 2011, 2015 & 2019)
