World Cup 2019: India were in complete control during win over Bangladesh, says Sachin Tendulkar

Batting great and former India captain Sachin Tendulkar said India are in a good space after sealing a semi-final berth at ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

India were handed a 31-run defeat by England on Sunday but they came back well to hand Bangladesh a 28-run loss and seal their spot in the semi-final.

Speaking to India Today after India's win in Birmingham, Sachin Tendulkar said: "We were pretty much in control all through the game."

He added: "Ups and downs in such a big tournament is bound to happen. That's fine with me. You don't need to dig into matters which don't exist. I feel it's all about sticking together as team. You need to understand there are going to be speed breakers and you have to continue moving forward. There's no need to panic. I feel we're in good space.

Stressing India are still the team to beat, Sachin Tendulkar added: "If we are able to fire, then I don't think anyone can beat us. I am sure of it. If we play to the potential we are capable of, I think we can go and beat anyone."
