India vs Bangladesh Live score Live Streaming Nidahas Trophy Final: Rohit Sharma has been bludgeoning the Bangladesh bowlers. (Source: AP)
Bangladesh ended up getting themselves to a decent total in the end despite the fact that they never really got a strong partnership going. Mehidy Hasan Miraz slammed 18 runs off the final over to get them to that total and Sabbir Rahman was the standout performer with a solid 77 off 50 balls. Jaydev Unadkat got two wickets in the penultimate over and made up for a rather unsatisfactory return from his powerplay spell. Yuzvendra Chahal has three to his name, one of which he got thanks to a brilliant piece of fielding by Tamim Iqbal. India kept things tight on the field and forced Bangladesh into making mistakes.

And Bangladesh have taken a step bac into the match. KL Rahul tries to go for the pull, ends up getting a top edge on it, backward square leg has to wait, watch and get his hands in position for trapping that white cherry flying towards him.
Well Mushfiqur Rahim's naagin dance is the only thing that is being seen around the ground, even Sunil Gavaskar in the commentary box, unfortunately for our eyes. Mushfiqur doesn't seem to amused by all that though, with good reason, his team is getting pounded here, 50 partnership up between Rahul and Rohit
Rohit Sharma has moved to 45 off 29 balls but he faced a troublesome situation when KL Rahul pushed the ball away for a single, Mehidy had picked the ball and lined up the throw and Rohit had given up. But the throw is nowhere close to the stumps.
The gulf is clear, Bangladesh were 40/3 at the end of their powerplay while India India are 56/2. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are knocking the ball about and keeping a good pace about the Indian innings. For now there doesn't seem to be any way back for Bangladesh.
Rohit Sharma is bludgeoning the Bangladesh bowlers now, he has made 32 off 16 balls, India have made 48 for the loss of two wickets in the first five overs of their innings. Bangladesh had made 40 at the end of the powerplay
Bangladesh appeal but umpire gives wide, Mushfqur is screaming for a review and Shakib, who is on the other end of the emotional spectrum does go for it. Mushfique does a high five with Rubel as the replays start playing, Raina tries to pull and the snicko shows he got the slightest of edges. He has to got for a duck.
This innings is going at a breakneck speed. India bash Bangladesh a bit and then they strike back, Shikhar Dhawan pushes it to mid on and substitute fielder Ariful Haque dives forward to take a sharp catch.
Rohit Sharma goes berserk! Shikhar Dhawan goves him the strike in the second ball of the third over and then, the Indian captain goes 6,4 and another big 6 in the next three balls, he has made 21 off 8 balls, India 24/0 in 2 overs. Talk about a good start
Mehidy Hasan Miraz gave Bangladesh a strong finish and in the end, Bangladesh have somehow huffed and puffed their way to a score that their bowlers can defend. Sabbir Rahman was the standout performer, his 77 off 50 balls is the highest by a Bangladesh batsman against India in T20Is. So India need to make 167 so as to win this tri-series.
Unadkat has effectively got two in two because he bowled a wide in between these two wickets. Slow ball in line with the stumps and Rubel swings his bat everywhere but near the ball, the middle stump is off.
And that's it. Slow ball, Sabbir misses and Unadkat hits. The end of a very eventful and well-constructed innings and also, of any chance Bangladesh had of ensuring a competitive total that could make the Indians think.
Sabbir moves into his 70's. He is practically playing a one-man show now and Bangladesh's fate in this final could be dependent on how he handles this innings.
Shakib looking to grab a quick single but ends up running himself out. Sabbir is keeping a good pace to the Bangladesh innings but he is running out of partners.
Chaos reigns supreme! Sabbir guns for a quick single from the non strikers end but Mahmudullah does not move an inch, Vijay Shankar runs towards the ball and fumbles a bit, Mahmudullah then makes a dash for it but Shankar runs towards the wicket and wins the race. Mahmudullah was their finisher-in-charge and his wicket has fallen in the most dubious of ways.
The 100 comes up, a rare period of stability for Bangladesh, Sabbir nearing his 50. They need these two to stick together to put up a competitive total
Mahmudullah and Sabbir give Bangladesh a rare period of stability. There was a run out chance when Unadkat raced to his right to pick up the ball pushed away by Mahmudullah and threw the ball at the non strikers while he was making a dive for it. A direct hit would have done him.
Mahmudullah and Sabbir in the middle now. Mahmudullah would have got his first boundary had it not been for Suresh Raina who puts in a dive to save a boundary at long on. Mahmudullah had saved Bangladesh in extraordinary fashion against Sri Lanka. They would need a good finish from him to put up a competitive total.
Mushfiqur miscues his slice and the ball loops up in the air, Vijay Shankar runs to his right before making a dive to take a sharp catch. Another one bites the dust for Bangladesh and it is the in form Mushfiqur Rahim.
Sabbir Rahman hits a six and a four off the third and fourth ball of the eighth over bowler by Vijay Shankar to relieve some of the pressure, Bangladesh end up getting 14 runs off that over
Bangladesh never really got going there. The openers managed to last two overs but the three wickets have come in very short time, Mushfiqur Rahim and Sabbir Rahman in the middle now, negotiating a very attacking field set up by Rohit Sharma.
Chahal gets a second and that is because Soumya Sarkar has just sweeped a ball straight to square leg into the hands of Shikhar Dhawan. Bangladesh falling like nine pins here
Incredible Catch! Tamim looking to send it over long on and it almost did. Shardul is the fielder standing at the boundary and he leaps up, plucks the ball with a short leap and lands on his left foot probably an inch inside the boundary line. He somehow maintains his balance and completes the catch, both the Bangladesh openers back in the hut now.
And the first pin falls! Slow one from Washington SUndar, probably pitched later than Liton expected, he goes for the slog sweep and it only takes an edge to balloon up in the air, Raina makes no mistake.
Washington Sundar keeps it tight in the second over, the fielders went up for an LBW appeal off the third ball but Sundar himself wasn't interested, just four runs off that over
The last ball is dispatched to the boundary in typical Tamim Iqbal style, somewhere between a flick and a pull for a short ball over the wicket. Unadkat's opening over has gone for nine runs
Bangladesh are playing the same team. No change.
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Sabbir Rahman, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mehidy Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Nazmul Islam
India have made the only one change in the playing XI - Mohammed Siraj has been replaced by Jaydev Unadkat.
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Karthik(w), Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Yuzvendra Chahal
India win toss, elect to field first against Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma reckons this pitch will slow down with the time progresses for the bowlers and they would want to know what target to have in mind.
Brett Lee gives the pitch report says that it is one of the hardest surfaces in the series. The conditions will help the bowlers in the middle. He reckons the spinners and the swingers will enjoy bowling on these surface. He particularly picks up Shardul Thakur to enjoy his time today with all his variations. He says 180-190 would be a good score.
