The must-anticipated 100th international century by
Sachin Tendulkar went in vain as India lost to Bangladesh by five
wickets in their Asia Cup encounter on Friday.
Tendulkar's
hundred (114), which came in 147 deliveries, took the Indian score to
289 and it looked a daunting total till a series of blitz by Shakib Al
Hasan (49 off 31), Nasir Hossain (54 off 58) and skipper Mushfiqur Rahim
(46 off 25) blew away the Indian challenge. Tamim Iqbal's knock of 70
and his 113-run partnership with Jahurul Islam (53 off 68) for the third
wicket laid a solid foundation for Bangladesh.
After
his 64 against Pakistan, Shakib once again shone with the bat, taking
charge of the Bangladesh chase...
