A dominant India defeated Bangladesh by nine wickets to set up the Champions Trophy summit clash with Pakistan. The Virat Kohli-led side faced no trouble and thrashed the opposition in all the departments. After winning the toss, Bangladesh could manage only a decent 264/7 with help of knocks from opener Tamim Iqbal (70 from 82 balls) and Mushfiqur Rahim (61 from 85 balls).
India had an easy time during the chase, as the top three did the entire work. Openers Rohit Sharma (123 from 129 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (46 from 34 balls) were yet again dominating while skipper Virat Kohli (96 from 78 balls) played a useful second innings knock.
In all, it was a very impressive collective performance from Team India who is now set to make their fourth appearance in the final of an ICC tournament since 2010.
Let’s have a look at their player’s ratings:
Rohit Sharma – 9.5/10:
Rohit Sharma was at his flawless best and oversaw the chase right from the ball one till the end, hitting 123 off 129 balls. It was a well –paced innings which perfectly served the purpose for the team. There were no hurried shots and no ‘lucky’ runs; just free shot making and run accumulation. This century is also a reward for the consistency he showed in past few matches where he missed the triple figure mark a couple of times.
