Those who have followed Bangladesh cricket closely over the last few years, ever since the team has emerged as a force to reckon with in ODI cricket, will be familiar with the term 'Banglawash'. Zimbabwe have been at the receiving end quite a few times and the West Indies felt the heat very recently as well. The last thing India would want is to get whitewashed and join the list on Saturday (December 10). But the likelihood of that is indeed quite high especially after the two morale-sapping losses.

To make matters worse, they are further depleted in personnel heading into this final ODI. KL Rahul will be leading the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma and India have only three fit fast bowlers to choose from.

India's bowlers have let the game slip away in both the games so far despite putting India in a dominant position at one stage. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has proven to be the thorn in their flesh so far and if the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim find their touch in order to support him, India will find it a lot tougher to pull one back.

Apart from failing to finish the job with the ball, India's major issue is at the top of the order in the batting department. The trio of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli over the years had done the bulk of the damage in the 50-over format but they have found the going tough so far. Kohli hasn't fired and Dhawan is certainly coming under tremendous pressure to hold onto his spot ahead of the World Cup, with Shubman Gill appearing ready to take over.

It will be interesting to see if Kohli and Dhawan open again in the absence of Rohit. If they do, India will certainly hope that they can set up a platform this time around. A win on Saturday will not only help them avoid an embarrassing 3-0 scoreline but also provide them some much-needed confidence ahead of the Test series. For the hosts though, this is indeed a massive occasion. They may have clinched the series already but a 3-0 scoreline against a side that has given them and their fans so many heartaches over the years will be one to savour forever.

When: December 10 at 12 PM local time, 11:30 AM IST

Where: Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram

What to expect: The last time Bangladesh played here was earlier this year against Afghanistan. Only once did a team go past 300 across six innings in that series. The temperatures are expected to be normal.

Team News

Bangladesh

Given they will be eyeing a historic 3-0 result, it's highly unlikely that Bangladesh will be making changes to their winning combination.

Probable XI: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (C), Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman

India

India will be forced to make at least two changes. Deepak Chahar is out and so is Rohit Sharma. The management did draft Kuldeep Yadav into the ODI squad ahead of the game so the likelihood of him replacing Chahar has increased. Will Ishan Kishan get a go at the top of the order in place of Rohit? The uncapped Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi are in the squad as well.

Probable XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan/Rahul Tripathi, KL Rahul (C&WK), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik

What they said:

"We have a much better chance (for a clean sweep) with him (Rohit Sharma) not playing. He is such a high calibre player. I was a bit surprised that he didn't come to bat earlier (in the second game). He maybe fell a ball short," - Bangladesh fielding coach Shane McDermott

"It's definitely quite disappointing with a few injuries that I had in the recent past but yes I want to be in the present and obviously now I am getting an opportunity and I just want to really perform to my best and really win games for India consistently." - India allrounder Washington Sundar

Squads:

India Squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w/c), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Shahbaz Ahmed, Umran Malik, Rahul Tripathi, Rajat Patidar, Kuldeep Yadav

Bangladesh Squad: Anamul Haque, Litton Das(c), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Yasir Ali, Taskin Ahmed, Nurul Hasan
 
Easy win for India coming up.

Question is, will the last 2 games prove to be an abberation and India will thrash them royally like they always do or Bangladesh can put up a fight against mighty India?
 
The usual oldies will get another chance to fail.
Hopefully Kishan gets a longer rope at the top. I have no idea why Gill is not in the squad.
 
If Kishan scores today, then will he get dropped next tour and we will have Gill in the squad again?

It seems Indian management thinks that if we build a team of 30+ players, that will decide the champion team and not the team with the best XI players.

I have a feeling that the administrators have gotten into their head that india needs 3 XI. With the goal of entering 2 XIs in the 2031 WC.
 
Two evenly matched teams but Bangladesh looks more talented.
Both these teams have great rivalry.
I love watching both these teams play.
 
Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to field

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w/c), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik

Rahul: Injuries are not great and we've had a few of them. But it also gives opportunities to new guys. Two changes obviously: Rohit and Deepak are injured. So Ishan and Kuldeep come in. We've always had the quality as a team. Right now it's important for us to get better as individuals and get runs in different conditions. Haven't played one-day cricket for a long, long time. Focus was on T20 cricket. We always want to win and give our best for the country. But sometimes it doesn't happen. There's never an international game that doesn't have pressure. It's a new wicket - different conditions. Important for us to assess, be brave and put the pressure back on them. That's what Indian cricket has done over the years.

Litton: We'd like to bowl first. Looks like there's some grass on the wicket. Need to take wickets early on. Two changes. Just have to play our normal game.
 
Kishan showing what India is missing at the top. Dhawan is done.

Gill and Kishan must open for India. One attacking lefthander and the other is the classical run a ball batsman.
 
Dhawan keeps getting picked even after numerous pathetic performance. Looks like The management has confirmed he will open the inning in the world cup aswell.
 
So, Kishan's job here is to attack and allow Kohli time to settle in so he can bring his form back. :91:

After Kohli brings his form back, Kishan will get dropped again :facepalm
 
Best Indian batting lineup:-

Gill
Kishan
Shreyas
KL Rahul/SKY
Pant/Samson
Hardik
Jadeja

Everyone of them performing with bat. No oldies wasting spots here.
 
Kohli is tuk tuking lol It is painful to watch him bat these days. Struggled against lot of no name bowlers in the IPL. He just plays well in Australia and against Pakistan.
 
Ishan is such an impressive talent. He and Gill are competing for the opening slot as Dhawan is truly finished. I will prefer Ishan as he is more dynamic
 
Any BD fans here know?

What the hell is bcb doing to improve the fan’s experience in the stadium? This stadium looks same as 2011, no shade/roof, one end has one tier and needs another tier as ticket is high demand. Mirpur looks same as 2011 too. Fans experience must be tough during day time sun shining.
 
It’s a good toss to lose. BD should have batted first. Looks a great batting pitch!
 
Captain Das lost the plot after dropping Kohli. Afif never bowls, brought him into give Kishan easy final few runs to get ton. Mahmudullah is more useful part timer.
 
Kishan should bat a bit sensibly now..this is a great chance to put a 175+ for him or even a 200. Don't throw away.
 
Body language of BD player is too relaxed. Ultra poor bowling. All over the place. The sun heat got to them or what. Or thinking series done no need for extra effort.
 
Kishan will get 200 today. This is some Sunday league bowling pitching it short hardly waist height!
 
It’s just IshanKishan trying to prove himself to the selectors.

Seniors are still struggling to time the ball.

Seniors are not even at their 10% of very best. Anyone who has seen them in IPl probably know they struggle big time these days with timing.
 
Kishan thrashed Bumrah so many top bowlers in an exhibition match to score 124 in 49 balls.. He won't stop until he g ets out
 
Taking nothing away but, playing in dead rubber of cause has more freedom and is smoking it well. If it was must win would have been more careful. seen batsmen injured hitting blazing 100 going for it since they cant run twos.

lol Kishan smashed exactly like this against SA . Thrashed 150ks from Nortje all over.
 
I don’t watch IPL. Not seen this player before. Why wasn’t he in the world cup t20? Proper aggressive style
 
I like to say Dhawan's career is over. But it won't happen. He will open in the world cup knowing Rahul Dravid's brain.

It is very very hard to break into Indian XI when there are super stars. This is not England where they will drop out of form players ignoring reputation.
 
Look at the length their bowling just bad. Full ish leg sided, short balls - waist height, full wide-ish, spinners - half trackers. There’s nothing decent areas, not yorkers
 
Kohli doesn't even have to play this series. Scratching around making ugly 50. What is the point.

They have to be like England. Pick on form if to dominate LOI. Asian teams have too much reputation based picks. Need to learn to move on.
 
Even one handed shot goes for 4. This guy is on beast mode today. Tonking the bowlers badly .


Bangladesh need wickets badly

Sponsors spend so much money on them every year. They silently influence selection. Fans are fools to hope for fair selections. Every single Indian youngsters were identified in recent times because of injury to someone else.Even today if Rohit were fit he would have played.
 
Captain read it wrong. Greenish look wicket in BD means nothing, it’s a belter of wicket, flat highway. Comes on to the bat well. Not sluggish
 
Mehidy is bowling junk. Absolute insane bowling. The batsman rattled them badly.

Exactly. It was a wrong decision of lifetime.

Bowler ls are being humiliated.

World record is under threats
 
Too comfortable.

So if Rohit was fit this guy wouldnt have played. Blessing in disguise for India.
 
And some fans didn't even want to give Kishan a chance in ODIs because their 'laadla' Pant was the next big thing in cricket. Kishan, Samson, Iyer, Gill are the future of Indian LOI teams. Even Shaw hasn't got enough opportunities. :inti

Being 2-0. Bat first put score on board and put them under pressure to chase to avoid whitewash. No. Captain Das the defensive approach, bowl first thinking its NZ wicket with green look. It’s Chittagong! Sun is out, not overcast England/NZ and you don’t have Boult - swinging bowling. Left Hasan Mahmud out who is properly best wicket to wicket bowler out of the pacers.

I don’t see LKD being a good captain if he succeeds Tamim.

Bangladesh need wickets badly. 2-3 quick ones. Keep it under 370. Have to do something BD never done in ODI’s score 350+. Remarkable really as good as BD been in ODI’s since 2016, they don’t score BIG.
 
Some of the BD players must have been crying whole night last night after Brazil got knocked out. And some of them who support Argentina must have been celebrating whole night. such is the craze BD people have for Argentina and Brazil. Hence why maybe they lost mindset for todays game.

Even Indians are crazy for Argentina and Brazil so what is your point? :inti
 
this captain needs to fix up man has field all over the place. Has he got a clue whats he doing out there.
 
Flattest wicket I’ve ever seen in Bangladesh. This is flatter than wc11 where sehwag scored 175. This is flatter than highways!
 
Great talent

Should be the permanent opener of India in T20s an ODIs
 
Dhawan should have some shame and retire after this series. You are taking up someone else's place in the team, someone who is in good form, young and talented. He can help India more than Dhawan currently. :inti
