Bangladesh will bat first as India won the toss in the final match of Nidahas Trophy tri-nation T20 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday (March 18).

All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is leading the team with an aim to victory against India. Tigers set foot into the final after their epic victory in the do-or-die match against Sri Lanka.

The final race has become the tightest contest as Rohit Sharma-led India registered three wins -- two against Bangladesh -- of their four matches in the league stage to move into the final as favourites. 

The Tigers’ squad remains unchanged from their last match against Sri Lanka. Jaydev Unadkat has replaced Mohammed Siraj in the India playing eleven for this final.

Bangladesh:  Tamim Iqbal, Liton Kumar Das, Sabbir Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah Riyad, Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain and Nazmul Islam.

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik, Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal and Jaydev Unadkat.
