Virat Kohli scored his 48th ODI hundred to help India beat Bangladesh by seven wickets Thursday for its fourth straight win at the Cricket World Cup.
Kohli finished with 103 not out off 97 balls as India finished with 261-3 in reply to Bangladesh's sub-par 256-8 . He had some help at the other end from Lokesh Rahul, who finished 34 not out.Kohli is now one short of compatriot Sachin Tendulkar's world record of 49 ODI hundreds. Across formats it was his 78th international century but just his third in World Cups since 2011.
Pandya did not bowl or field for the remainder of the game, and he was not padded up while India chased down Bangladesh's total. Instead, wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav provided the breakthrough, trapping Hasan lbw in the 15th over. India etched out three more wickets for just 44 runs and reduced Bangladesh to 137-4 in 27.4 overs.
Veteran Mushfiqur Rahim stabilized the innings with 38 off 46 balls. He put on 42 runs with Towhid Hridoy for the fifth wicket. Hridoy was caught off Thakur for 16 runs. He helped Bangladesh cross the 250-mark, even if it fell short of a par score on a great batting wicket. Gill scored his maiden World Cup half-century off 52 balls, hitting five fours and two sixes. He scored 53 runs in all and added 44 off 42 balls for the second wicket with Kohli.
