Full commentary

This is the largest margin of victory, in terms of runs, in the history of one-day internationals. They win by 257 runs. India went into this game, needing to win and win it big. And they have done it. Now all attention will be on Bangladesh v Sri Lanka game. If Bangladesh win, then the race would come down between India and Sri Lanka. If Sri Lanka win against Bangladesh, the net run rate comes into play. So get out your calculators and get ready to do some maths.

Man of the Match Virender Sehwag

This is Sriram Veera, your commentator of the day, signing off. Please do switch to the West Indies v Zimbabwe game. West Indies require another 71 runs with 6 wickets and 15.4 overs remaining. Brian Lara is in the crease.

Kumble to Jones, OUT

And he finishes it off with a lbw. Typical Kumble. Full in length, on the off and middle and it slides in to catch Jones in front of the middle stump.

Malachi Jones lbw b Kumble 1 (8b 0x4 0x6 4m) SR: 12.5

Kumble is back.

another seam-up stuff. Defended on the front foot

41.5
Tendulkar to Jones, no run

suddenly switches to seam-up. Quite a big inswing! how many variations this little big man has. Swings in from outside off and raps the batsman on the pad. Appeal goes up but it was struck outside off stump

41.4
Tendulkar to Jones, no run

tossed up a slow googly outside off, bit too wide to interest the batsman

41.3
W
Tendulkar to Leverock, OUT

Tendulkar removes the rock. Leverock. A flighted legbreak, short in length, outside off stump that turns ever so slowly and Leverock couldn't resist the urge to cut, and nicks it behind. Dhoni makes no mistake. Leverock as he walked out of the arena, acknowledged the crowd. Bermuda are nine down. Hemp might be left stranded.

Sehwag to Hemp, FOUR runs

Wallop! Hemp moves to 73. Tossed on the off stump line, Hemp leans forward and drives inside-out over cover.

leans forward to defend

Faisal chimes in with this. "Call me biased (for being a Bangladeshi), IMHO, either India or Srilanka will be eleminated from 1st round. Wanna know why? If Srilanka beates India, India is finished. If Srilanka is defeated by India then Srilankan run rate will fall. We will top that (incase we fail to beat Srilanka) in our last game against Barmuda. I really feel very sorry for Barmuda, for they are getting blasted by everyone. I do hope that they still keep their chin up. If they keep thir spirit up, who knows few years later they might come back tougher & win few matches"

40.1
Sehwag to Hemp, no run

floated outside off, Hemp tries to sweep but is struck on the pad. Point of impact outside off.
