IND vs BAN, Tri Series, Match 3: Gambhir fires India into tri-series final
June 12, 2008
An unbeaten century from Gautam Gambhir and a blistering half-century from Virender Sehwag led India to victory over Bangladesh in the Tri-Series.
Sehwag's early onslaught ensured India were never under pressure as they made light work of a target of 223.
India eclipsed the target in 35.1 overs, losing just three wickets in the process, and will take on Pakistan in the final on Saturday.
Bangladesh were bowled out for 222 in 49.5 overs, the bulk of the runs coming off the bat of Raqibul Hasan (89).
RP Singh, India's only change from the team that humbled Pakistan on Tuesday, was the pick of the bowlers, claiming three for 46.
Sehwag, who plundered 89 runs in India's 140-run win over Pakistan, continued from where he left off as he cut and pulled Bangladesh's bowlers in typically ferocious fashion.
He brought up his half-century in just 29 deliveries, but departed soon after while attempting to hook Dolar Mahmud.
Sehwag (59) had hit Mahmud for a couple of sixes and fours, but the bowler had the last laugh when he snared the opener off the last delivery in his expensive first over.
India's innings lost momentum following Sehwag's dismissal as Rohit Sharma laboured to 26 before falling to a mistimed sweep.
But, Yuvraj Singh (26), who was dismissed when at the doorstep of victory, got the chase back up to speed.

IND vs BAN, Tri Series, Match 3: Bangladesh face India today
June 12, 2008
Bangladesh are up against a strong Indian outfit in the last league match of the Kitply Cup at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.
India are virtually in the final of the day-night tournament following their massive 140-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan on Tuesday and the Tigers' loss to Pakistan by 70 runs. Surprisingly, Bangladesh have an outside chance of making it into the final if they can upset their more illustrious opponents.
So far, the two sides have played each other 18 times, 15 of which have been won by India. Bangladesh shocked them twice, once at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in 2004 and then in Port-of-Spain during World Cup 2007. On the other occasion, the match was abandoned due to heavy rain in Chittagong last year.
It will be their third meeting in the Mirpur venue after the two sides faced each other here last year when India won the one-day series 2-0.
