Bangladesh swallowed 28 runs' defeat against India on Tuesday at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham after irresponsible batting display from top-orders. With this trounce, the dimmed light of Bangladesh's semifinal hope went out.  
Earlier, India preferred to chase winning the toss and had posted a handsome total of 314 for nine after thankful ton from opener Rohit Sharma by virtue of gifted lives. The match passed its 4.4 overs life line and Sharma was at nine when he had been dropped by Tamim Iqbal. He was also been favoured by luck in his nervous nineties. Shakib's nearly bowled delivery was nano-centimetre short to kiss the stump when Rohit was one deficit from his fourth century of the tournament.
The Indian opener was preyed by par timer Soumya Sarkar just after reaching the three digit magical figure. He went for 104 but after soaring on top of the leading scorers list of the tournament. Having 544 next to his name, Sharma outdo Australian opener David Warner. Warner downed at three for his 516 runs as Shakib soared at two with 542 total runs from seven innings.
Rohit accompanying KL Rahul made the highest opening partnership of the tournament so far. They assembled 180 runs jointly and Rahul scored 77 before
being hunted by Rubel Hossian. The rest of the first innings story is full of Mustafizur Rahman's hymn. The fizz picked-up the third ODI fifer of his career. The cutter master ended the game with ball remaining on hattrick and the wicket from his first delivery of very next match will accomplish the hattrick.
The pace sensation's five for 59 aided Bangladesh to restrict India at 319. Besides, Shakib, Rubel and Soumya shared one wicket each.]
In reply, Bangladesh were slow but cautious to grasp the must win match and had mediocre 40 for Tamim Iqbal's wicket from the initial powerplay. Soumya Sarkar went sideline for 33 giving a simple catch to Kholi in the follow thru of a wide ball and it was the very first delivery of the day from Hardik Pandiya. Mushfiqur Rahim was also dismissed cheaply by Yuzvendra Chahal scoring 22 runs.
Suicidal shots from Bangladesh batters sent them back. Every set batsman threw wicket after getting start. Shakib Al Hasan fought back once again but his first-rate innings came to an end as wicket gone slow and Pandya's late-coming delivery puzzled Shakib to give a simple catch to Virat Kohli at extra cover region. Shakib backed to pavilion accumulating 66 runs.
Bangladesh missed the service of Mahmudullah in the middle. His replacement Sabbir Rahman (36) was looking good and stood 66 runs partnership with Mohammad Saifuddin before being displaced by Bumra. This is the highest seventh wicket partnership of event going on till date.  
Another piece of controversial display of umpiring had shown by Marais Erasmus and Ruchira Palliyaguruge. Beamer from Bumra to Saifuddin was not given a no ball.
However, man at eight Saifuddin bated opening chest and remained unbeaten scoring 51. This is the second ODI fifty for the Tigers pace bowling all-rounder.
Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya shared three wickets each as Bangladesh were bowled out for 286 and India confirmed semi-final beating Bangladesh by 28 runs with 12 balls to spare.
