The Shakib-Rahim stand that sealed the game
Even after losing Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh were undeterred and continued to pile on India's misery through young all-rounder, Shakib-al-Hasan and keeper, Mushfiqur Rahim.
Rahim was a picture of composure in his 107 ball half-century while Shakib was more entertaining, smashing Munaf Patel back over his head twice. Rahim charged the spinners occasionally and timed two wonderful hits over the fence while continuing to milk the singles.
The duo took Bangladesh to within touching distance of victory when Sehwag broke through with the wicket of Shakib. He had skipper Habibul Bashar as well to trigger hopes of an unlikely comeback but Rahim wasn't letting this one through.
He remained unbeaten as Bangladesh completed an extraordinary victory, one laced with outstanding performances in all three departments. India would exit in the first round after their loss to Sri Lanka while Bangladesh had their moments in the World Cup by progressing to the Super Eights where they would beat South Africa.
