After a one-wicket loss during the first ODI, team India bowed down before the much lower-ranked Bangladesh in the second ODI as well by 5 runs, to have already lost the series 0-2. They have now lost their second consecutive ODI series against Bangladesh.
While it has been a collective team performance by the Litton Das-led side in the two matches so far, the stand out performer has been a certain Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Team India, on the other hand, have no option but to play for pride as they continue to battle through injury concerns within the contingent. Skipper Rohit Sharma, Deepak Chahar, and Kuldeep Sen have been ruled out of the final ODI due to respective injuries, with KL Rahul to lead the side today.
