India will face:

Reason: update
into nervous 90s goes Tendulkar now. 191 / 2 India. tho he nearly runs himself out again.
Tendulkar gets closer. He's on 95 and at end of Powerplay India are 203-2. 10 overs left.
and Tendulkar goes to 100 now. the 100th 100. well played little master!!

six overs left. India on 228 for 2.
five overs left. seventeen of the last over. 245-2.
four overs left. twelve off the last. 257-2.
Raina goes for a good speedy 51. well played.
And Tendulkar now follows Raina. 114 he made. salutations Little Master.
three overs left. three off the last over. 260-4 India.
two overs left. Brilliant bowling by Bangladesh in last two overs. only eight in last two overs. 264/4.
Rohit Sharma goes tryin to give MSD strike. Stupidity here.
India set Bangladesh a target of 290. :-)
Wonder where's the two DS today 
Bangladesh innings underway.
First down already. 15/1 in 5 overs and Praveen Kumar getting ****muddin off. Mini mountain starting to look like Everest for Bangladesh.
Bangladesh steady. Will this be one of those typical Sachin hundreds when India loses??
He slowed down so much towards the last 20 runs going from 80 to 100...
I think they'll collapse, Bangladesh. but can't say. He did slow down on the last runs.. very true..
Autostars again.. Dammit.. the guy's name is Na zimuddin... I'm not cursing friend Indisystem! 
And I dont think Sri Lanka is out yet Leo as you have mentioned somewhere above. If India lose to Bangladesh and Pak and Sri Lanka win against Bangladesh, then all three will have won one game!
Correction agreed to. Sorry. Dint realize.
Dhoni looks extremely worried.
DS2, Leo Kahan ho Bhai log??
around. very tense match.
might be a game changing over this one. from Praveen.
I think Dhoni might get banned again, they are wasting so much time.
Again they are discussing... So So LONG.
Looks settled now! Not in our favor!
still not settled. in any one favor.
settled now. no ball four. under a run a ball.
Yeah! With 80 year old neighbour. What a fan he is too... So expressive...
done game. Bangladesh will walk through.
formality completes. congratulations Bangladesh.
I want to see Sachin's face. My 83 year old neighbour says we lost because of him. I CONCUR. He slowed down way too much for the hundred.
I concur with that concur.
Nasir Hosain out. won't affect result I feel.
formality completes officially now. Congratulations Bangladesh. you deserving of it.
He still goes on about Sachin...
Oh yeah. that maiden over for Mortaza I suppose, and multiple dot balls.. a few more runs.. even twelve would have helped.
Well. What can we do. Hope he retires now. A great man. But starting to lose that aura now. Feel sorry for him too. He has given us so many joyous moments too.
