India made it to the semi-finals and also warmed up for the match against Pakistan after steamrolling Bangladesh 10-0 in their second league match of the sixth Asia Cup Hockey tournament here today.

Dilip Tirkey (7th minute, 55th) and Gagan Ajit Singh (37th, 50th) scored twice while Deepak Thakur (11th), Vikram Pillay (26th), Dhanraj Pillay (33rd), Sandeep Michael (34th), Prabhjot Singh (48th) and Baljit Singh Dhillon (54th) netted one apiece.

India played at full strength in order to beat Bangladesh by a big margin and to edge Pakistan should goal average comes into play to

decide the pool B toppers. They managed to achieve their first target but just about missed the other. India now have the same goal difference as Pakistan (14). India needed to score one more goal today but failed to do so in the last 15 minutes of play wasting as many as five golden chances.
