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 reach 264-7.
India were 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.
Rohit was measured throughout, cutting, pulling and driving his way to an 11th ODI century that was completed with a hook for six off left-arm pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman.He shared an unbroken 178 with captain Kohli, who played an array of trademark cover drives as he passed 8,000 ODI runs.It was barely a contest, but still entertainment that was lapped up by the India fans in a crowd of 24,340 – a record for an ODI at Edgbaston.
India showed greta performances against South Africa, pakistan and bangladesh so far to cruise into finals.Thus the twitter took to storm for congratulating men in blue.

Bangladesh did not bowl particularly well. But even if they had, it is very doubtful whether India would have been troubled.India on way to defend the title.
