India won the toss, elected to field first. Bowlers did exceedingly well to restrict a confident Bangladesh batting unit for 264/7 in fifty overs. Then the top-three batsmen toyed with the Bangladesh bowlers to reach the target with 59 balls remaining.


Openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan provided a good platform, then skipper Virat Kohli arrived in the centre after the fall of his Delhi state-mate.


He soon found the right note, hitting with ease. And once the 28-year-old reached his fifty, Indian fans at Edgbaston increased their decibel a notch higher.


Here's the Kohli, Kohli chant. Certainly, an unmissable moment from the match.



The win set-up yet another mouth-watering India-Pakistan clash, this time in a final, in a global tournament.
