Asia Cup Cricket: Sachin sets record; Scores 100 ODI centuries<br/>

Sachin Tendulkar wrote history by scoring a brilliant century in Asia Cup to become the first player to score 100 international centuries. This is Tendulkar&apos;s 49th century in one-day cricket.Earlier Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium at Mirpur in Dhaka. Buoyed by the victory against Sri Lanka by a margin of 50 runs in their first match on Tuesday, India is looking to confirm a berth in the finals by defeating Bangladesh today ahead of their next high voltage encounter with arch rivals Pakistan. Bangladesh, on the other hand, desperately needs to win against India to keep themselves in contention, following their loss to Pakistan in the inaugural match. Earlier, India scored 289 for 5 in 50 overs. Chasing the victory target of 290, Bangladesh were 43 for 1 in 11 overs when the last report came in.
