Brilliant Bangladesh stun India
Bangladesh administered the first big upset of the tournament, beating - not trouncing - India by five wickets

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."
Man of the Match: Mashrafee Mortaza
