India beat Bangladesh by 87 runs

on
19th Feb, 2011: The one-day-international (ODI) ICC World Cup 2011 finally kicked off today, and the first match, India vs Bangladesh (Ind vs Ban), at Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, saw India whip Bangladesh by 87 runs.

The match saw a blitzkreig from Virender
Sehwag, who almost reached the highest score in ODIs (200* of Sachin Tendulkar in Hyderabad, vs South Africa, in 2010). His rampaging innings of 175 in 140 balls saw India score a huge 370/4 in its 50 overs. Virat Kohli ably supported Virender Sehwag, with an almost equally fierce century - 100 off 83 balls, not out. It appears like Kohli is on his way to becoming a star cricket icon, too.

In reply, Bangladesh could manage only 283 runs in its innings.

The World Cup highest score belongs to India, too - it made 434 against lowly Bermuda in the 2007 edition.
