The second World Cup quarter-final takes place on Thursday,withIndia facing Bangladesh in Melbourne, Australia.
India—the reigning champions—have been in impressive form in the tournament, winning all six of their matches to finish on top of Group B.
They now go up against a Bangladesh side that defeated England in Adelaide to qualify from Group A.
India has experienced the MCG atmosphere already during the World Cup, beating South Africa by 137 runs.
Another success at the same venue will see them progress through to the last four, though the Tigers will be hoping to upset the odds and make the semi-finals for the first time in their history
.India has now won 11 World Cup games in a row. Two of those triumphs have come at the MCG this year, as they also defeated South Africa at the same venue. Whether it is Australia or Pakistan next, it should be a superb spectacle in Sydney.

A wicket in the over for Yadav, but his figures take a hit when Sabbir hits the final two deliveries to the fence. The first is pulled through mid-wicket, with the next slammed behind point. He's no on 22 from 23 balls. Robert Cianflone/Getty Images
WICKET! Mushfiqur c Dhoni b Yadav 27
First ball after drinks, first ball of the power play, and Mushfiqur Rahim is dismissed. He tries to pull Yadav to leg, instead he only ends up in skying a catch that Dhoni pouches comfortably. The fat lady is starting to warm up, though even if she's singing you probably couldn't hear her over this crowd.
