TasmiaT: "Bangladesh have scored 330, 322 and 333 in 3 of their last 5 games, including that 333 chasing against Australia. As long as they keep the scoreboard ticking and Shakib and Mushi keep their form, with contribution from the top from Tamim and Soumya, they are still game. Bangladesh need to come out with a positive mentality here."
Pratik : "Another 4 wickets by Shami today, he'll be the second highest wicket taker of the tournament." --- Yes, with Bangladesh probably not likely to chance their arm too often against Jasprit Bumrah, there could be wickets on offer for Shami
Ashu: "Why does your score states 314 for 9 wickets when India got all out?" --- They didn't, as Yuzvendra Chahal didn't get a single ball to bat or to come out for
2.43pm Thanks, Peter. This is set up so deliciously. India have done the hard yards by posting a good total on the board. They did defend 227 against Afghanistan and 268 against the West Indies in two of their three previous games. However, this is a very strong and mature Bangladesh batting order, and India are one bowling option short with no Kedar Jadhav in the lineup. So much will depend on which team wins the first Powerplay. Don't go anywhere...
Win forecaster for the chase says Bangladesh has a 33.88% chance of overhauling this total. I'm stepping aside for now. Debayan Sen will take over from the start of Bangladesh's charge.
WATCH on Hotstar (India only): Highlights of Rohit Sharma's century
2.20 pm Multi-layered storyline in this innings. Rohit makes his fourth century of the tournament but only after being dropped on 9. It paved the way for the highest opening stand of the World Cup too but once Soumya Sarkar nabbed Rohit in the 30th, the India innings stuttered thanks to the brilliance of Mustafizur. He turned it around with a double-wicket maiden in the 39th to get the whale, Virat Kohli, along with Hardik Pandya, then comes back with three more wickets for just six runs in his final two overs at the death. Despite Bangladesh's momentum to close out the innings, the used pitch showed definite signs of wear and tear so 315 is going to be a very stiff order to chase for Bangladesh, or any team for that matter.

KL: "The idea of MSD backing himself to hit a big one and not running the single, infuriates people. Gone are the days when they said, "How's that for confidence!"" Just when the pressure is building, he's been finding the boundary though. 300+ scores have been virtually impossible to chase in this tournament.
