World Cup: Rohit hits ton, India eye big finish against Bangladesh

In the ICC Cricket World Cup match at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Rohit Sharma smashed a hundred against Bangladesh but was bowled out by Tahir Ahmed for 137. India were 293/5 for 48.3 in overs when reports last came in. Opting to bat after winning the toss, the defending champions got off to a pedestrian start, as they were 72 for no loss in 16 overs. After the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan, who was stumped off Shakib Al Hasan, the holders got themselves into a difficult position. They lost Virat Kohli in the gap of just 4 runs. Ajinkya Rahane also followed after a while.Our correspondent reports that if India wins today, it will take on the winners of tomorrow's quarter-final between Pakistan or Australia, for a place in the semi-final.
