DHAKA: Indian batsmen smashed 152 runs for two wickets in 25 overs, half of the total allotted overs, against Bangladesh here at the Shere Bangle National Stadium, Mirpur Saturday.

The batsmen out were Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir while opener Virender Sehwag close to his 14th ODI century. He is batting at 87.

Indian star batsman Sachin Tendulkar who equaled today Javed Miandad's record of playing six World Cup tournaments, became the first player to be dismissed in the tenth edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup when he was run out for 28 in the opening match.

Tendulkar hit four boundaries during his 29-ball innings. He was run out through a joint effort by Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan and wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim.

Gambhir was clean bowled by Mahmudullah, scoring 39 off the same number of balls.

Earlier, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and invited India to bat first.
