In the thrilling ICC World Cup 2023 encounter held at Pune's MCA Stadium on October 19, India, the host nation, faced off against Bangladesh.

The match was a riveting contest, with India emerging victorious by a comfortable margin of 7 wickets, finishing the game with over eight overs to spare. India's star batsman, Virat Kohli, showcased his class by scoring an unbeaten century, notching up his 48th ODI ton in the process.

Bangladesh made a decent start with the bat, forging a 93-run opening partnership. However, after the dismissal of Tanzid Hasan, Bangladesh's middle-order crumbled. Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah picked up two wickets each, restricting Bangladesh to 256 for 8 at the end of their allotted 50 overs.

In reply, India's openers, Rohit Sharma (48 off 40) and Shubman Gill (53 off 55), provided a solid foundation, and Virat Kohli, in his characteristic style, cemented it further. The Indian batsmen capitalized on the absence of the injured Shakib Al Hasan from the Bangladeshi side. Kohli remained unbeaten with 103 runs from 97 balls, receiving valuable support from Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. India comfortably achieved their target with 51 balls to spare, securing their fourth win out of four matches and taking the second spot on the points table.
