9:25 pm- Another chase, another win for India, another century for Virat Kohli. Towards the end, it was never about whether India would win, but only about whether the modern-day master would reach three figures.
India now join New Zealand on four wins in the World Cup, and the two sides are set to meet on Sunday in Dharamsala, for what promises to be a humdinger. For now, the Men in Blue will celebrate.
9:24 pm- INDIA WIN! Kohli comes down the track to meet this on the full, and he smashes Nasum Ahmed over mid-wicket to finish the chase, and go past three figures! India 261/3 in 41.3 overs (Kohli 103*, Rahul 34*).
8:57 pm- Virat Kohli has anchored yet another chase in ODI cricket, and now he needs to make sure he sees this through to the end. There's a century for the taking for him as well. Just 51 more required. India 206/3 in 35 overs (Kohli 66*, Rahul 17*).
KL Rahul is the new batter.
8:33 pm- WICKET! That's the third wicket to fall, and the third one to an attacking shot. Like Gill, Shreyas tries to smash Miraz into the next city but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball. It goes high rather than long, and he holes out in the deep. India 178/3 in 29.1 overs (Kohli 56*, Shreyas 19).
8:15 pm- Nothing much to report in terms of a change in the match situation. India are looking extremely comfortable at the moment, and should wrap this chase up without any major hiccups. Under 100 required now, with half the innings left. India 161/2 in 25 overs (Kohli 42*, Shreyas 16*).
In comes Shreyas Iyer.
7:53 pm- WICKET! Gill was looking to take on the off-spinner Miraz. Comes down the wicket and tries to muscle this over cow corner, but only finds Mahmudullah on the boundary rope, who does well to avoid stepping on the boundary cushions. India 132/2 in 19.2 overs (Kohli 29*, Gill 53).
7:31 pm- Kohli was welcomed to the crease with a couple of free hits off his first two balls, and India have continued to march along here. Thhe chase still looks very much in control. India 111/1 in 15 overs (Kohli 20*, Gill 41*).
Virat Kohli is the new batter.
7:20 pm- WICKET! Hasan Mahmud has been persistent with the short ball, despite Rohit Sharma looking comfortable against it. He takes on the youngster yet again, but only hits it to the fielder in the deep who takes a good running catch at square leg. India 88/1 in 12.4 overs (Rohit 48, Gill 40*).
7:07 pm- This opening pair have been sensational for India, and Bangladesh haven't looked like stopping either of them. Gill has upped the ante in the last few overs, matching Rohit for intent. India 63/0 in 10 overs (Rohit 37*, Gill 26*).
6:50 pm- As usual, Rohit Sharma has begun positively, taking the attack to the bowlers. He's also taken most of the strike, as Shubman Gill is adopting a more patient approach. It's yet another solid start for India. India 33/0 in 5 overs (Rohit 27*, Gill 6*).
6:28 pm- So here comes the Indian chase. This is the second-highest target set for the Men in Blue in this World Cup, and the one higher than this was chased in just 35 overs. Could we see a repeat today? Rohit Sharma is on strike, and Shoriful Islam has the ball in hand. Hint of shape back in, defended well. India 0/0 in 0.1 overs (Rohit 0*, Gill 0*).

IND vs BAN Predictions, tips and betting oddsIf we talk about the last four ODI matches between these two Asian sides, Bangladesh have shown their dominance by securing three victories, while India only have managed to win once. However, the pitch in Pune will assist both spinners and pacers, unlike the pitches in Bangladesh where there is no help for the pacers.
India's record at the Pune stadium is somewhat decent, having won three out of four ODIs played here. Nevertheless, considering the form of the hosts, it can easily be said that they are miles ahead than Bangladesh. But this the World Cup of upsets. Who knows, we may get to see Bangladesh pulling off another heist.
