A stunning five-wicket victory over formidable India despite a historic century by Sachin Tendulkar in the fourth match of the Asia Cup one-day tournament here at the Shere Bangla national Stadium on Friday. Chasing a difficult target of 290, Bangladesh completed their historic win with four balls to spare. Tendulkar, who now has 51 hundreds in Tests and 49 in one-day internationals, cracked one six and 12 fours in his 147-ball 114 to help his team post a challenging 289-5. The memorable moment came in the 44th over when Tendulkar turned left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan to square-leg for a single to become the first batsman to score a century of centuries. But Bangladesh batted remarkably well to achieve the stiff target with four balls to spare in the day-night match for only their third win over India in 24 one-dayers and keep alive their hopes of reaching the final.
