In the Asia Cup 2023, India faced Bangladesh in a crucial match at Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium after winning the toss and choosing to bowl. Indian captain Rohit Sharma's decision put his team in a strong position, as they had already secured a spot in the tournament final with back-to-back wins against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in their previous Super 4 matches.
In contrast, Bangladesh had little left to play for except pride, having been eliminated from contention for the coveted continental trophy after suffering defeats to Sri Lanka and Pakistan in their earlier games.
Tilak Varma got the ODI debut cap from Rohit Sharma.
Here are the lineups for both teams:
India:
- Captain: Rohit Sharma
- Players: Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan (Wicket-Keeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna
Bangladesh:
- Captain: Shakib Al Hasan
- Players: Litton Das (Wicket-Keeper), Tanzid Hasan, Anamul Haque, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman
With India aiming to continue their winning streak and Bangladesh seeking a consolation victory, the match promised an exciting showdown on the cricket field.
