Live Cricket Score: India vs Bangladesh, Final, Colombo, Nidahas Trophy 2018 - India beat Bangladesh by four wickets

Soumya Sarkar walks in next. He needs to spend some time in the middle.

4.2: Y Chahal to T Iqbal, OUT! Whatttaaaaa catch! Shardul Thakur, you little beauty! He has pulled off an amazingly controlled catch on the long on fence. Seeing the tossed up delivery on the stumps, Tamim charges down the track to banish it out of the ground. But he ends up getting more height than distance. It seems as if it just has enough to clear long on, but no. Thakur there judges it and catches it with a leap. After that he keeps his balance to not go beyond the ropes. It is taken upstairs for a confirmation. Shardul seems to have done well as the TV umpire is happy after having multiple looks at the replays. Bangladesh lose two inside the Powerplay.

GONE??? Shardul Thakur seems to have taken a stunner... As is the case with such catches, the umpires take another look. Looks to be gone for all money, does Tamim Iqbal.

4.1: Y Chahal to T Iqbal, Floated around middle and leg, swept straight to backward square leg.

Yuzvendra Chahal comes in to roll his arm.

3.2: W Sundar to L Das, OUT! An early blow for Bangladesh and the fast scoring Liton Das falls to Washington Sundar. That's another wicket for Sundar in the Powerplay. Not afraid to toss it up and gets his man. Simple off spinning ball around off, Das goes for the sweep, gets a top edge to it and the ball skies in the air towards backward square leg. As the shouts of 'caaatttccchhh ittt' follow, Raina settles under it and takes a good catch. Just the start the Indians wanted.

The Bangladesh opening pair of Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das make their way out to bat. Jaydev Unadkat will have the new ball. A slip in place. Here we go...

The players are out for their respective national anthems. It will be Bangladesh's first. Start of play is moments away now.

Shakib Al Hasan feels that it is not a bad thing to bat first. He reckons that the pitch will remain same in the entire game like it has been throughout the tournament. He continues saying that his nerves are in control and the players are focused. Opines that they will have to play better to beat India today. States that they are going in with an unchanged side.

Rohit Sharma feels that the track is good but states that the wicket looks a bit dry. Adds that it will get better. He suggests that they will look to bowl well and then chase down the score. States that throughout the tournament the teams that have chased have won. Ends confirming one change to the XI - Jaydev Unadkat comes in for Mohammed Siraj.

Toss - Rohit Sharma spins the coin, Shakib Al Hasan calls tails and heads it is. India will bowl first.

PITCH REPORT - Brett Lee exclaims that it is a brand new wicket, with no visible bald patches there. Reckons it to be a hard surface and should be pretty good for batting. Adds further that it could take some turn as the game progresses. States that the knuckle ball and slower ones should come into play as well. Opines that anything around 190 should be a good score.

India on the other hand, have bounced back well after a loss in the first game. Their top order has stepped up in every game and the inexperienced bowlers have shown great maturity. They start as favorites and Rohit will hope the result follows the same way. Let's wait and watch to see who the home crowd supports! Rain was forecast today but let's hope the weather stays as good as it is now.

So, Sri Lanka have not been invited to their own party. But the guests - Bangladesh and India, without a host will not shy away from having a ball. Who would have put their money on Bangladesh to reach the finals? The ones who don't play fantasy leagues! Taking nothing away from the Tigers, they have played well and have beaten the hosts twice to get here. They have not played in the same way against today's opponents. But it's a new day and they will ride high after a stunning last-over finish couple of days back.
