Rohit equals Sanga's records
Rohit smashed seven fours and five sixes in a 92-ball inning. The senior cricketer scored his second successive ton and a fourth in CWC 19.

He amassed his 26th career ODI ton. That's the sixth highest in ODIs.

Rohit surpasses 500 runs in CWC 19
Kohli is just five runs away from 1,000 World Cup runs (995). He went past the 400-run mark in CWC 19 (408) and is the seventh highest run-scorer. Rohit surpassed the 500-run mark in the tourney (544) and is the current leader. He surpassed David Warner (516). Rohit became only the second Indian ever to score 500-plus runs in a World Cup edition.
Another special tally for Rohit
In-form Shakib scripts a special record
Bangladesh's all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan became the first player to score 500-plus runs and take 10-plus wickets in a single edition of the ODI World Cup. Shakib (66) scored his sixth 50-plus score in CWC 19. He is now the second highest run-scorer in World Cup 2019 (542). The left-arm spinner has taken 11 wickets so far. He now has 260 career wickets.
Shami equals Kumble with this record
Mohammed Shami now has 31 career World Cup scalps. He equalled former Indian spinner Anil Kumble (31). Shami has raced to 14 wickets in CWC 19. He now has 33 ODI scalps in 2019 and is one short of leader Trent Boult (34).
Mustafizur registers this feat for Bangladesh
Mustafizur Rahman (5/59) became the second Bangladeshi bowler to take a fifer in the history of World Cup. It's also the second best performance after Shakib (5/29). This was Mustafizur's best bowling spell in ODIs this year. He raced to 25 ODI scalps in 2019. This was Mustafizur's fourth five-wicket haul in ODIs. He now has 98 career ODI wickets.
How did the match pan out?
India started off on a strong note as the two openers set the tone with 180 runs. From there on, Bangladesh rallied back with regular wickets. Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni chipped in to help India get past 300. Fizz and Shakib were excellent. In reply, Bangladesh failed to forge a big partnership. Shakib played a lone hand for the Tigers.
