23:24 hrs IST: That's it. Thank you for joining us!
Rohit Sharma, Player of the Match: "I had a great feeling right at the start. It's a great pitch to bat on. The first game against South Africa, I had to take my time. Against England as well, the pitch was two-paced, and they used the conditions really well. There was no question of scoreboard batting first, so that's what I had to do. I was lucky (early on)...fortune favours the brave. I never think about the shorter boundaries when I bat, because my game is all about piercing the field. Once you are set, the idea is to put pressure on the bowlers. (Four hundreds in one World Cup) Oh I thought I just got a 100 today. My mantra is whatever has happened in the past is in the past. Those in form have to bat long and get the team to a big score. I need to focus on the next game now."

India batting coach Sanjay Bangar: "It's a fresh game. It's going to be on the same track, so we have a bit of an idea of how the track will behave and how the dimensions of the ground are. So we'll try and maximize them."

12:59 hrs IST: STAT ATTACK - India have won four matches on the bounce against Bangladesh in ODIs.
12:44 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the ICC World Cup 2019 game between India and Bangladesh.
With a return of three victories, as many defeats and a rained off clash against Sri Lanka, inconsistency has been a theme of Bangladesh's tournament.
"We have to play at our best (against India)," said Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza.
"If we can manage to win, that will be great. India is a very strong side in this World Cup, and it's not going to be easy, but we have to play hard and have to be 100 per cent in every area.
"The good thing is that we're still in the tournament. We have to play a lot better than we have been."
In contrast, India were the model of consistency until they suffered their first defeat of the tournament to England at the same venue on Sunday (June 30).
MS Dhoni's poor show as a finisher in a wobbly middle-order is a cause of concern.
India scored only 39 runs in the last five overs against England, with Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav at the crease. More than their inability to hit big shots, which was certainly the primary factor, the lack of intent was an eyesore.
India have had little time for recovery but will aim for immediate course correction against a team which boasts of the World's No.1 all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan (476 runs and 10 wickets) in its ranks.
With Bhuvneshwar Kumar being fit and available for selection, India, for the first time in the tournament, could go in with three frontline pacers.
If Bhuvneshwar is included in the playing XI against Bangladesh, it will also bolster the lower-order batting. Ravindra Jadeja could replace one of wrist spinners -- Yuzvendra Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav.
