India defeated Bangladesh to reach the finals, and Kohl and his boys made the task seem very easy with some clinical seam and spin attack which had the Tigers once again seem hopelessly outplayed. India cruised past the Bangladesh total in a seemingly effortless and easy manner.

India's journey to the semifinals

At one stage the Bangladesh team looked poised to register a big total when they were 154-2. However, they lost both Tamim Iqbal (70) and Mushfiqur Rahim (61) to Kedar Jadhav and then the collapse started.

They could muster only 264 for the loss of seven wickets.

India never looked to be in any problem when they started their run chase and reached the target with nine wickets in hand and almost ten overs to spare. The final will be played between the two arch rivals on Sunday at Oval.

It will be a dream come true, and viewers will be looking for a good match since both the semi-finals seemed to be one sided affair.

The Indians made the task look so easy, and the only flash was Kohli achieving the 8,000 ODI runs in 175 innings eclipsing the record set by South Africa’s AB de Villiers who took 182 innings to complete the landmark.

India-Pakistan tussles are unique and usually witnesses capacity crowds. Will this game be the one that is viewed by the maximum viewers? The 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony has the record of being watched by 1 billion people followed by the FIFA 2010 World Cup final with 530 million viewers.

The two sides have not played each other because of the contentious issue of Kashmir.

No matches are being played in Pakistan since the Sri Lankan team attack. Games are usually played at neutral venues, and there has not been any series between the two arch rivals.
