A dominant India beat Bangladesh by seven wickets to set up a title clash with arch-rivals Pakistan in the Blind Cricket World Cup, in Ajman, UAE, on Wednesday.

Man of the Match Ganeshbhai Muhudkar's century steered India home comfortably. He scored 112 in just 69 balls.

 

Bangladesh, who won the toss and elected to bat, were bowled out for 256 in 38.5 overs.

Defending champions India will take on Pakistan in the final on January 20 at Sharjah.

It was not a good start for Bangladesh as they lost  two early wickets with less than 50 runs on the board. For Bangladesh, a resilient unbeaten 108 by Abdul Mallik was the highlight.

India's strong bowling restricted them to a modest score as Durga Rao took three wickets in three overs, giving away only 20 runs. Deepak Mallik and Prakash bagged two wickets each.

Another star player Deepak Mallik retired out for 53 off 43 balls, while Naresh slammed a quickfire 40 runs in 18 balls.
