India vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report
Down 0-2 in the three-match series, Team India will look to restore some pride when they take on Bangladesh in the final ODI in Chattogram on Saturday, December 10.
By going down to the hosts by five runs in the second game, the Men in Blue succumbed to their second successive bilateral ODI series defeat in Bangladesh. The result, coming on the back of their T20 World Cup disaster, added to India’s 2022 woes.
The visitors conceded both matches from winning positions to lose the series with a game to spare. In the first match, they had reduced Bangladesh to 136/9, defending a target of 187. However, Bangladesh’s last wicket added 51 runs to stun Team India. In the second game, they allowed the hosts to recover from 69/6 to post 271. India’s batting then failed to deliver and managed a disappointing 266/9.
To make matters worse, skipper Rohit Sharma was injured while fielding. And though he batted valiantly towards the end of the last game, he won’t be available for Saturday’s game. Injured pacers Kuldeep Sen and Deepak Chahar have also been ruled out. India have added left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav to the squad, but things are not looking too bright for the visitors.
