Cricket World Cup 2019: Bangladesh v India

Rohit Sharma of India in celebrates his century.

Top-ranked ODI allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has reached 500 runs overall at this World Cup.

Shakib was 24 not out at the end of the 18th over with Bangladesh on 88-2.

Only two other batters have reached the 500 mark, Australia openers David Warner (516) and Aaron Finch (504).

India finished on 314-9 at Edgbaston to set Bangladesh a tough run chase which could have been a lot worse for the Tigers.

After Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul shared a record opening stand for this tournament of 180, Bangladesh struck back to reduce India to 237-4 when Mustafizur Rahman's double wicket maiden claimed Virat Kohil on 26 and Hardik Pandya for a duck.

Sharma was out for a 92-ball 104 and Lokesh Rahul went shortly afterward for 77, also in 92 deliveries.

Mustafizur claimed a wicket on the last ball of the innings to finish on 5-59.

Bangladesh has proved it can chase large totals. It pulled off the highest successful run chase of this tournament, 322, to beat the West Indies by seven wickets with eight overs left. But India will prove a tougher opponent to score freely against.

India secures a semifinal spot if it wins. Bangladesh can't qualify if it loses.

India made two changes to the team that lost to England on the same pitch in Birmingham - with a short boundary - on Sunday. Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar came in for Kuldeep Yadav, and middle-order batsman Dinesh Karthik replaces Kedar Jadhav.

Bangladesh also made two changes to the team that beat Afghanistan in its last game eight days ago. Mahmudullah didn't pass a fitness on a calf strain and was replaced by middle-order batsman Sabbir Rahman, and fast bowler Rubel Hossain came in for Mehidy Hasan.
