Monday, 19 March 2018



Sabbir Rahman's magnificent 77 and Mehidy Hasan Miraz's cameo have helped Bangladesh to set India a modest target of 167 in the final of the T20I tri-series, report agencies.
The Tigers made 166 for 8, some 20 runs short of what they perhaps would have liked to score, after they were sent to bat first by India.
India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first against Bangladesh in the Twenty20 tri-series final in Colombo on Sunday.
The youthful Indian team, which reached the final with three wins from four matches, made just one change -- with paceman Jaydev Unadkat coming in for Mohammed Siraj.
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said his team would have to be at their best against India.
