And India have beaten Bangladesh by 227 runs. Umran Malik gets the last wicket of Mustafizur Rahman as he bowled him on this straight delivery. He is pumped. India produced a brilliant show with the bat today. It was all set up by opener Ishan Kishan, who registered a record double century, and Virat Kohli, who smashed his 72nd International ton. India always had the upper hand as they scored 409. Bangladesh were never in the chase and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Shakib was their highest run-scorer as he scored 43 as India registered a big win to avoid the whitewash. Now the focus shifts to the two-match Test series. The first one will start on 14th December and India would need to dominate the Bangladesh side in that series if they have to stand a chance to reach the WTC 2023 final. See you in the Test series now.
This kind of performance may have come a little late, but hey, it's better late than never. Bangladesh are 8 down and India are just 2 wickets away from a consolation win.
BAN have lost their half side now as Kuldeep Yadav has bowled Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib wanted to cut this but the ball stays a bit low and did not turn much as well. The BAN batter gets an under the edge and the ball breaks the stumps. IND eyeing a big win.
Now, Umran Malik has joined the wicket-taking party of the Indian bowlers. He trapped Yasir Ali in front of the wickets but the umpire did not give him out. India reviews and it's all three reds. BAN are 4 down.
Axar scalps his second wicket and Bangladesh lost their third. It's Mushfiqur Rahim, who has to walk back after he has been clean bowled by the left-arm spinner. He wanted to sweep this one but misses as the ball breaks the timber. IND on a roll here.
And India have sent back the Bangladesh openers inside the first powerplay. Siraj strikes as BAN skipper Litton Das hits this straight to Shardul Thakur at mid-off. Earlier, Axar Patel had sent Anamul back. India are on a roll.
And Bangladesh have begun their chase. Mohammed Siraj to start proceedings for India as Litton and Anamul look to provide a solid start.
India have scored 409/8 in their 50 overs. This is the 6th time that India have managed to score 400 plus in an ODI game. Their highest ODI total is 418. This featured special innings by Ishan Kishan and Virat Kohli. Kishan smashed 126 ball 200 to break Chris Gayle's record for the fastest double ton. Kishan hit 210, while Kohli also shattered a record with his 113-run knock. Kohli is now the second-highest hundred scorer in International cricket. He shattered Ricky Ponting's record of 71 tons. Now he is only behind Sachin Tendulkar. So, Bangladesh need 410 to whitewash India. Back in a moment.
With Washington and Axar out in the middle, India are looking to finish strongly here. Can they get 410?
Back-to-back wickets and India are losing the brilliant momentum they had. After Kishan, India have lost three more batters. A potential 425 looks far now.
And Virat Kohli walks back after smashing a hundred. Shakib gets a wicket and it's the big one. Kohli wanted to go inside out on this fuller ball. Could not get the height as it was hit flat and Mehidy takes that at the boundary.
And now Virat Kohli has hit a century. This is his 72nd International ton and the Indian maestro has left behind Australia's Ricky Ponting, who has 71 hundred. He is only behind Sachin Tendulkar in the list now. India eyeing really big today.
Ishan Kishan has done it. He has become the 7th International batter to score a double hundred in ODI cricket. Wow, what an innings he has produced. Dominance to the other level. He has scored the fastest double ton in ODI cricket. Is he eyeing Rohit today?
