In pics: India annihilate​ Bangladesh to set up final with Pakistan

First over of match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar knocked over Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar with a delivery that swung in just about enough for the batsman to play on. (AFP image)

Bhuvneshwar and Jasprit Bumrah operated on tight lines and didn't allow Bangladesh batsmen much room to get the scoreboard ticking. As the pressure piled on due to dot balls, Sabbir Rahman cut Bhuvneshwar straight to point for 19. (Getty Images)

Tamim Iqbal extended his fine form in the tournament with another fruitful contribution of 70. Along with Mushfiqur Rahim, the left-hander put on 123 runs for the second wicket and also upped the scoring rate. (AFP)

Virat Kohli then pulled off an ace introducing Kedar Jadhav into the attack. He removed the two set batsmen - Tamim and Mushfiqur - to swing the tide back in India's favour. (AFP image)

With both batsmen gone and Shakib Al Hasan enduring a failure, Bangladesh's innings choked towards the end. Bumrah removed the two last recognised batsmen Mahmudullah and Mosaddek Hossain to cripple Bangladesh's scoring-rate. (Getty Images)

From a stage where 300 looked possible for Bangladesh, they eventually settled for 264/7. And had it not been for skipper Mashrafe Mortaza's 25-ball 33 towards the end with five boundaries, Bangladesh would have struggled to reach even 250. (AFP image)

The way India began their response were ominous signs for Bangladesh. They reached 97 in the 15th over before Shikhar Dhawan perished for a smooth 46, thus becoming the India's highest-scorer in the Champions Trophy overtaking Sourav Ganguly's tally of 665 runs.

But that was the first and only success Bangladesh would taste. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma stitched a dominating 178-run stand for the second wicket to play Bangladesh out of the match. (Getty Images)

With scores of 91 and 78 already in the tournament, Rohit finally crossed the three-figure mark. He registered his 11th ODI century and remained unbeaten on 123. (Getty Images)

During his knock, Kohli became the quickest to score 8000 runs in ODIs. He hit the winnings shot and remained unbeaten on 96 as India registered a thumping nine-wicket win to set-up a mouth-watering clash with Pakistan in the final on Sunday, June 18. It will mark the first occasion that India and Pakistan will face each other in an ICC ODI final (Getty Images)
