<b>India secure highest total in history of World Cup</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->India set an imposing 414-run target for Bermuda in their second World Cup Group B league match at Queen's Oval Park in Trinidad on Monday. It is the highest total scored by a team in World Cup history.
Electing to field, Bermuda got an early breakthrough as seamer Malachi Jones packed off Robin Uthappa for three. Dwayne Leverock took an excellent catch diving to the right in the first slip to grab the ball single-handed.
Virender Sehwag showed signs of his return by hitting a brisk century. Accompanied by the in-form Sourav Ganguly, he built a 202-run partnership to prop up the Indian innings. But soon the right-hander was dismissed by pacer Kevin Hurdle for 114 runs which came off just 87 balls including 17 boundaries and three sixes
