With a target of 340 runs, Bangladesh will face a daunting task in the chase. The visitors will need a miracle performance from their batsmen to even come close to the target.
Here are some key takeaways from the match:
- Rohit Sharma's century was the highlight of the match. His blistering innings set the tone for India's dominance.
- India's batting depth was on display. Even after the top three batsmen were dismissed, the middle order contributed significantly.
