Dhaka - Inspiring batting by Virat Kohli (57*) and Rohit Sharma (56) guided India to register a comprehensive 8-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their ICC World T20 match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
With their third consecutive victory on the trot, India became the first team in the tournament to seal a spot in the semifinals with a clash against Australia still left.
The Rohit-Virat duo put up a determined 100-run partnership for the second wicket after India got off to a bad start when they lost Shikhar Dhawan early in their 139-run chase.
Dhawan (1) failed yet again to get a decent score in the tournament as he was bowled by Al-Amin after the Indian opener got a wicked inside edge.
Rohit reached his half-century in 39 balls with the help of 5 boundaries and single six before the right-hander was dismissed by Mashrafe Mortaza.
Kohli, on the other hand, continued and slammed his fifty in 41 balls with 3 smashing boundaries and a scintillating six to his credit.
Earlier, Indian spinners yet again put up an impressive show as they restricted Bangladesh to a modest 138 for seven.
Ravichandran Ashwin was yet again at his parsimonious best with exceptional figures of two for 15 in four overs. Amit Mishra's dream run in the marquee event continued as he was the pick of the bowlers with figures of three for 26 in four overs.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled tidily to give away only 21 in his three overs and dismissed their top player Shakib Al Hasan in the process.
For Bangladesh, all-rounder Mahmudullah finally came good as he blasted unbeaten 33 off 23 balls with five fours and a six to give his team's total a decent look.
Mahmudullah added 49 runs for the sixth wicket with Nasir Hossain (16) as they are the third team in the tournament that India have restricted for less than 140.
Opener Anamul Haque (44) played well at the top while skipper Mushfiqur Rahim (24) failed to convert the start that he got.
Tamim Iqbal's (4) tournament got from bad to worse as he was out in a soft manner, pushing at a flighted delivery from Ashwin that turned after pitching. Suresh Raina took the catch at the first slip.
Shamsur Rahman (0) was out off the very next ball with an atrocious cross-batted heave. He found out the only man outside the circle on the leg-side. Rohit Sharma had little difficulty in taking the catch running forward from his deep mid-wicket position.
Ashwin was on a hat-trick but Shakib stopped the Tamil Nadu tweaker from reaching the milestone.
Shakib (1) however did not last long as he was played on off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's delivery with Bangladesh were reeling at 21 for three within the first five overs.
Anamul along with skipper Mushfiqur Rahim started a repair job. Rahim hit Jadeja for a couple of boundaries including a slog-swept boundary that brought the team's 50 up in the ninth over.
Rahim (24) however played a loose shot and was caught by a diving Virat Kohli at mid-on position. Anamul-Rahim partnership yielded 46 runs for the fourth wicket.
Anamul hit some eye-catching boundaries off spinners. His favourite area of attack was the cover and extra cover region. A couple of boundaries off Shami and Bhuvneshwar were delightful strokes. He also hit Shami over long-off for a six and got a maximum, hitting Jadeja inside-out over extra-cover.
But on 44, Amit Mishra bowled back-to-back googlies which he failed to read. The first one went for four byes but the second one was good enough to light on the LED stumps. He faced 43 balls with five fours and two sixes.
Half of the team was back in the dug-out by the end of the 13th over with only 82 on board.
Earlier, Indian captain MS Dhoni have India have won the toss and have opted to field..
Bangladesh have a couple of changes -- Mominul and Sabbir are not playing. Nasir and Shamsur are in.
No changes to India's line-up, means no Rahane and Yuvraj gets another game.
