Bangladesh-India last ODI today

Sports Reporter :
Highly inspired Bangladesh will take on India in the third and last One Day International (ODI) match at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today. The Day/Night match will start at 12.00pm (Bangladesh Standard Time). Private satellite channel GTV and private satellite sports channel T Sports will telecast the match live.
Bangladesh have already won the ODI series 2-0.
The hosts posted a thrilling one-wicket victory over the visitors in the first ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Dhaka on December 4.
The home side recorded a hard-fought five-run win over the tourists in the second ODI at the same venue on December 7.
Indian ace batsman left Dhaka as he was injured in the second ODI at the SBNCS on December 7.
Sharma fought a valiant fight with a broken thumb in Wednesday’s second match, scoring 51 not out off 28 balls, but was unable to take his side to reach the victory target.
“Rohit has flown to Mumbai for specialist consultation and will miss the final ODI,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement on Friday.
The BCCI said fast bowler Kuldeep Sen and Deepak Chahar were also unavailable for the match, with back and hamstring injuries respectively.
“Kuldeep has been diagnosed with a stress injury and was ruled out of the series. Fellow fast bowler Deepak Chahar sustained a left hamstring strain during the 2nd ODI and was also ruled out of the series,” it said.
Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav was added to the India squad.
Allrounder Washington Sundar said India are looking to improve.
“We look to play our best cricket, we have certain things to do, focus on the process and make sure we win the game and end the ODI series on a high,” Sundar told reporters in Chattogram.
“This team has never beaten India 3-0. That’s a massive goal for us,” said Bangladesh’s fielding coach Shane McDermott.
“I know that after the series win, the boys have one eye on one more win in this ODI series.”
“Sharma’s absence could be a blessing for Bangladesh”, he added.
“I think with him not playing we have much better chance. We saw his innings the other day, and we know he is such a high-quality player,” he said.
Sharma has scored 738 runs at 61.50 against Bangladesh in 15 ODIs, with three centuries and as many half centuries.
