Defending champions India steam into Thursday's quarter-final against first-timers Bangladesh with the momentum of an unbeaten six-game pool run as the World Cup becomes cut-throat. Catch all the live cricket score and live updates of the match here: (LIVE SCORECARD | SCHEDULE)
India have reached the knockout rounds in unexpected ebullient form after their dismal win-less Test and one-day tour of Australia just prior to the World Cup to join New Zealand as the only unbeaten teams left in the marathon tournament.
It would be a considerable upset if ninth-ranked Bangladesh, who muddled through almost the entire last year beating only Zimbabwe in Tests or ODIs, can dethrone the champions.
Bangladesh can count among their three wins in 28 ODI encounters against their neighbours and an upset five-wicket win in the pool stages at the 2007 tournament in the West Indies.
