India Smash Bangla! Enter Semis

The men in blue are in high spirits! They intimidated Bangla lions and finally pulverised them and which eventually paved way for them entering semi finals of World Cup, 2019. 

Right away winning the toss, skipper Virat Kohli chose to bat first without a bit of hesitation. Rohit Sharma, as usually, made yet another tonne effortlessly. Interim, his 4th consecutive century in world cup, 2019 let his name inducted in record books. He shares the highest centuries record in a single world cup with veteran Sri Lankan batsman, Kumara Sangakkara. 

Finally, Rohit departed for 104 off 92 and it was a sensible support of KL Rahul to Rohit with 77 out of 92 Kohli with 26, Pant with 48 and Dhoni with 33 contributed their part adequately. Although it was envisaged it would be a cakewalk for India to score 350, Bangla bowlers, especially, Rahman showed stars to Indian middle order and got their score confined to 314. 

Slightly bruised by Bangla's bowling attack, team India's bowlers appeared to have determined to give a befitting retort to Bangla lions. As a result, they made well use of the ball maintaining good line and length and had made sure the wickets were taken with regular intervals. Shakib from top order and Mohammad Saifuddin with unbeaten 51 made Indians jeopardized. However, the end result was on to Indian side with a lead of 28 runs. Bumrah with 5 wickets and Pandya with 3 smashed Bangla's bating rage. 

India have now officially booked a berth comfortably in semis. What's up now? Let's keep our fingers crossed!!
