Bangladesh win the toss and decide to bat. Shakib: "We are confident of doing well. We are headed to England next, but looking to do well here." He then smiles sheepishly and says he does not remember his team! But he knows they are playing three seamers. We will take his word for that.. He reckons 240-260 is a good score. Sri Lanka defended 242 yesterday. Mashrafe Mortaza, Syed Rasel and Shafiul Islam are the three seamers, while Suhrawadi Shuvo will tweak 'em later in the day.
Dhoni: "WELL OF COURSE, we would have liked to bat first. Good for everyone that the seniors had a one-month break. The last time we had such a break was after the early exit from the 2007 World Cup. Dinda, Tiwary, Ashwin and Ojha are missing out."
So Ravindra Jadeja will be India's second-spinner cum allrounder - a role he has performed well in the 50-over format.
A warm welcome to game two of the Asia Cup! The big guns from India are back in business, with reputations to salvage. They begin their campaign against Bangladesh - on paper the easiest outing, but India know better than to take anyone lightly, following their Zimbabwe embarrassment. While we wait for the toss, time to reflect on yesterday's game - for my money one of the best ODI games in a long time. It had plots, it had sub-plots, it had superb performances from a clutch of superb players... and it had a close finish. If the Dambulla pitch continues to play like that through the next few days, we are in for a cracking Asia Cup.
