Bangladesh have caused the tournament's first upset. India have been thoroughly outplayed in all departments. Their batsmen struggled against the new ball and Bangladesh's battery of left-arm spinners and crumbled for 191. When it was Bangladesh's turn to chase, three teenagers - Tamim Iqbal, Saqibul Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim - scored fifties on World Cup debut to steer Bangladesh to a splendid victory. India's heavyweight batsmen were outperformed by the freshness of youth.

Bangladesh have a real chance of qualifying for the Super Eights now. Remember they even beat New Zealand in the warm-ups. India, on the other hand, must win both of their remaining matches - against Bermuda and Sri Lanka - to keep a billion hopes alive.

Rahul Dravid: "Quite a disappointing day. We didn't bat well. 240 would have been a good score. They bowled well, spinners bowled really well. We lost a few quick wickets in the end and that hurt us. Credit to them. They came in and got off to a good start. We have our backs to the wall and need to fight really hard."

Habibul Bashar: " The boys did a good job. We would have bowled first if we had won the toss. Mashrafee did a brilliant job and Rasel did a great job too. The spinners came on and did a terrific job. Tamim Iqbal batted really well. Hope he continues like this. Rahim did a brilliant job. He has a good technique and plays the new ball well. This win has given a fair chance to qualify to second round. This is a great day for Bangladesh cricket. We would like to dedicate this win to our friend Manjural Islam."
