India Aiming to Final Berth in Nidahas Trophy

Colombo, Mar 14: Riding a momentum that India built with convincing back-to-back wins recently, Rohit Sharma led team, will aim for an easy final-berth of the Nidahas Trophy Tri Series when they take on Bangladesh in the fifth T20I in Colombo on Wednesday.

Bangladesh be pushovers in the shortest format of the game as well after their record 215-run chase against Sri Lanka and a win against India will bolster their chances of making it to Sunday's final.

With back-to-back victories in the last two games, India have a healthy net run-rate of +0.21.

For India, the biggest worry is skipper Rohit Sharma's form. One of India's most successful white ballplayers in recent times, the talented Mumbaikar is waiting for that one big knock that will propel him back to form.

India have not got good starts in the tournament despite Shikhar Dhawan's (153) blazing form as Rohit has been dismissed cheaply in all the matches.

Let's wait India may dominate Bangladesh or Not??

Squads: India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shikhar Dhawan (vice-captain), Lokesh Rahul, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Vijay Shankar, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammad Siraj and Rishabh Pant.

Bangladesh: Mahmudullah (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicket-keeper), Sabbir Rahman, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Abu Hider, Abu Jayed, Ariful Haque, Nazmul Islam, Nurul Hasan, Mehidy Hasan, Liton Das.
