Mirpur: Virat Kohli stroked his second one-day century on Monday to take India to a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their tri-series one-day match on Monday.
India, already assured of a place in Wednesday’s final against Sri Lanka, raced to 249 for four with seven overs to spare after their bowlers had restricted Bangladesh to 247 for six from their 50 overs.
Kohli century scripts emphatic win
Kohli drove Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan to the mid-wicket boundary to complete the victory as well as his century which followed two fifties in his previous two matches. His unbeaten 102 off 95 balls included 11 fours.
Bangladesh had an outside chance of an upset win when Shakib took their fourth wicket with India still needing 48 runs in 14 overs. But Mohammad Ashraful dropped Kohli on 83 and Suresh Raina on 12 in successive overs and the opportunity vanished.
Earlier, Shakib made a solid 85 off 97 balls, his 13th ODI half-century, after Bangladesh had been reduced to 95 for five.
Put in to bat, Bangladesh had their back to the wall at 95 for five, but Shakib and Mohammad Mahmudullah (64 not out) stitched a 102-run partnership to take Bangladesh to a respectable total.
Bangladesh made a poor start after opener Imrul Kayes (9) and Mohammad Ashraful (4) paid the price for their poor shot selection and departed in successive overs.
India’s new-ball bowlers Sudip Tyagi and Sreesanth troubled the Bangaldeshi batsmen but the edges flew here and there to the boundary regularly.
