Bangladesh’s skipper Shakib Al Hasan says that they were a bit confused but feels that it is not a bad opportunity to put runs on the board.

Ends bt saying that this tournament has been an eye-opener for them but has shown them where they want to improve.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, says that they will field first because he feels they want to experience batting under lights and the wicket looks good too.

Debut Alert – Live visuals show Tilak Varma being handed his maiden ODI cap by the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. Having burst onto the scene through the T20I format, it will be interesting to see how the young sensation fares in the 50-over format. We have a debutant from Bangladesh as well, in the form of Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be playing their last match in this tournament. They have a lot to think about with their squad, especially with the big tournament coming up. They have not performed as expected in this competition, which is a big concern for the selectors. They have had only one convincing win against the Afghans. The batting unit has been out of form, and they were not able to showcase their skills as expected. They will aim to end this tournament on a positive note and with a victory. This match will be a good chance for both teams to take something positive out of it. One will look to change their squad a little bit, while the other will want to end the season on a high. Stay with us as we bring you the toss and team news soon.
India are having a really good campaign so far. They were the first team to qualify for the finals after beating Sri Lanka in a very thrilling encounter. Their skipper, Rohit Sharma, is in good form and has scored three consecutive half-centuries. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are handling the middle order really well, along with Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya cleaning things up and down the order. Jasprit Bumrah is having an amazing comeback and is bowling lethally. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja also had a fantastic outing against the Lankans on a spinning track. Overall, the squad is looking great and balanced. Ahead of the ODI World Cup, this is a good chance for them to try out some of their players to determine their bench strength.
Hello and a very warm welcome, folks. We are down to the final league game of the 2023 Asia Cup, which is to be played in Colombo. The finalists, India, will take on Bangladesh, who are out of this tournament. This game is just a formality for both teams, as the finalists for the tournament have been decided.
