DHAKA: Bangladesh to face India in the summit clash of the Nidahas Trophy 2018 tri-nation series final at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo of Sri Lanka Sunday (March 18).

Following the scintillating win against the host Sri Lanka where tempers flew, the Bangladesh dressing room was vandalized and two of the Tiger fans were attacked, the team under Shakib Al Hasan's captaincy is high on confidence.

Bangladesh earlier faced India in seven T20Is but couldn’t seal any single victory. The strongest Asian team registered three wins in the Nidahas Trophy to seal passage to Sunday's summit clash.

Though statistics suggest the team of Rohit Sharma the favorite but the Tigers have turned vigorous to encounter the neighboring squad. Will they be able to make another ‘Nagin Dance’ before the Premadasa gallery, forgetting all the nightmarish confrontations?

The game will start at 7:30pm Bangladesh time.

Bangladesh XI (probable): Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (w), Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Nazmul Islam

India XI (probable): Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik (w), Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Yuzvendra Chahal
