Riding over brilliant batting effort from it's top order, India chased down Bangladesh's target of 265 in the 41st over to set up final clash with arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday (June 18).

Rohit Sharma slammed an unbeaten 123 and skipper Virat Kohli scored 96* to take India home against an listless Bangladeshi bowling attack.

Earlier, Bangladesh middle order couldn't capitalise over the 123-run stand between Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim and managed to post 264/7, after being invited to bat first.

Iqbal (70) and Rahim (61) steered the side from troubled waters and laid the foundation for a good total for Bangladesh. But a disciplined bowling effort in the middle overs and later in the death-overs helped India restrict the 'Bangla Tigers' to a par total.

At one stage, Bangladesh were looking to head towards a score past 300 but economical bowling from Kedar Jadhav and Jasprit Bumrah ensured Bangladesh fell way short of the projected score.

Earlier, India skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and invited Bangladesh to bat first. Both the teams are coming back from a win and have decided to play with same playing eleven.

After winning the toss Kohli said, "Looks like a fresh wicket, should stay the same throughout. And it's a bit overcast as well - that could play a big role."

Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza siad he too would have liked to bowl. "We want to go further, last 2-3 years we have improved a lot. 2015 World Cup also we went through (the group). This time it's time to go further," Mortaza said.
