730pm Tuesday

Team India once again grace us with their presence so soon after losing to the poms

Bangers must win game to stay alive in the cup, hope they can do it

Another short turn around for India. I guess that's what they get for turning up to the tournament fashionably late.

Can’t see Bangladesh getting up here, the last semi final spot will be decided on Wednesday in the England vs NZ game.

 

[Eelectrica]

I actually feel like Bangladesh are a chance here. India are playing scared at the moment. It almost cost them against Afghanistan and it did cost them against England.

Bangladesh have been fearless all tournament. They're not afraid to chase a big total and they're not afraid to try and post a big score.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Team India win the toss and bat.

 

[Eelectrica]

Looks like that loss to England has lit a fire under the Indian openers. 0/69 off 10.
I think their fastest start of the tournament.

Rohit has declined to use lube...

 

[TheParraboy]

0/162
25 Overs

looking bleek for the Bangers

 

[AlwaysGreen]

25 overs 0/161.

Rohit approaching 100.

Is he headed for something spectacular to add to his 264, 209* and 208*??

 

[AlwaysGreen]

4th hundred on this tournament for Sharma equalling Sangakkara.

Moves ahead of Davey Wanker for highest run scorer too.

 

[TheParraboy]

4/237 - 39 overs

Dhoni batting, looking forward to him blasting India to well over 285...

Good to see India trying today.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wow Dhoni plays a shot in anger.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol there goes Myth Dhonis red ink.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This old merkin turning down single then getting out.

Bangers have pulled this back.

 

[Eelectrica]

One expensive drop from Tamim.
Bangers ain't gonna die wondering. They'll give it a red hot go.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Shakib gone and so are the bangers.

 

[TheParraboy]

India win by 28 runs

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Brave effort by Bangladesh who are up there these days as a team in the limited overs format.

India and Australia are now definite in the semis. Pakistan, England and New Zealand remain alive, everyone else are gooooonnnneee
