Bangladesh Vs India Live match on ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 on February 19, 2011.

Bangladesh started their world cup with a 87-run loss against the might of India at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Winning the toss Bangladeshi Captain choose to field first. 

In front of a sell-out crowd the Bangladesh captain stunned everybody by taking the decision to bowl in the day-night affair. He might have had the dew factor in mind when taking the decision, but the dew turned into a thunderstorm in the likes of Indian opener Virender Sehwag and World Cup debutant Virat Kohli, who toyed with the erratic and nervous Bangladesh bowling and eventually sealed the fate of the match at the halfway mark.

Shakib wanted to keep India below 260. But Sehwag's nock of 175 and Kohli's well-composed unbeaten hundred, India put Bangladesh under a pile of runs with 370 for four in their share of 50 overs.

Bangladesh finished their 50-over quota at 283 for nine. Imrul Kayes attacked from the outset after which Tamim Iqbal and Shakib took charge. They set off at a sprint, swinging fearlessly, edging luckily, and brought cheer to their supporters. What Bangladesh failed to do, though, was sustain the aggression for as long as Sehwag did, and the asking-rate soared irreversibly out of reach. Junaed Siddiqui (37), Shakib Al Hasan (55) and Mushfiqur Rahim (25) made contributions that only helped their side to reduce the margin of defeat.
