The victory was a reflection of India’s balance, an attack capable of dismantling line-ups and a batting order deep enough to dominate any total. Bangladesh, meanwhile, were left ruing their inability to build partnerships around Saif Hassan’s fine innings. It will be important to see who will India meet in the finals. Tomorrow's match between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be quite crucial as well.
