Key Highlights:
This loss was a huge shock for India and set the tone for a disappointing campaign in the tournament.
The match is often remembered for India's batting collapse, which was unexpected given their strong lineup like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh.
Bangladesh's win was historic, as it was one of their biggest victories in international cricket at that time.
This match is particularly famous because India's early exit from the tournament became one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. The loss to Bangladesh contributed to India not making it out of the group stage, which led to significant changes in the Indian cricket setup.
