India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss
India vs. Bangladesh Score: Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, won the toss and, as was predicted, changed his starting XI by five players from the Sri Lanka match. Early on, India's Mohammed Shami grabbed the first wicket, and ever since, they have applied pressure on Bangladesh.
As a result of Shardul Thakur's two wickets and Axar Patel's one, Bangladesh was struggling in the 14th over at 59/5. The Bangladeshi skipper was finally taken out for 80 runs off 85 balls by Thakur after Shakib and Towhid Hridoy put up a 101-run partnership.
India are without Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. Taking their places in the line-up are Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur. As far as the weather is concerned, it is clear and sunny in Colombo.
India have already secured a spot in the final
As
Bangladesh has already been eliminated and
India has already qualified for the final, the match may appear to be meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but given the intense rivalry between the two teams and the importance of this match as preparation for the World Cup, it is likely to be a fiercely contested one.
India has historically outperformed the other team when the two sides have faced off. However, Bangladesh have recently won several significant games, and they prevailed 2-1 in the most recent ODI series between the two teams.
The Tigers now feel that they are no longer pushovers thanks to these victories. Bangladesh's two series wins against India in 2015 and 2022 are evidence of their increasing self-assurance, albeit perhaps it may have gone a little too far.
The fierce rivalry between the two Asian nations has been fostered by incidents like Mushfiqur Rahim's early celebrations during the 2016 T20 World Cup and the contentious "Nagin Dance."
India have made adjustments to their Playing XI
Shreyas Iyer is still not included in the Playing X, therefore Suryakumar Yadav might replace Kohli at No. 3. KL Rahul keeps his position and serves as the day's wicketkeeper. All-rounder Hardik Pandya has also been rested, with Mohammed Shami and Prasidh Krishna replacing Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the bowling squad.
