So, India win Nidahas Trophy 2018. In the end Dinesh Karthik proved to be the difference between the two sides.  And with it, India continue their winning streak over Bangladesh in T20Is. It now stands at 8-0 in favour of India. That's all from this match. Do join us next time. Till then, good bye!!!

SIX!!! Five needed off last ball and Dinesh Karthik smashes that one for a six. Flat six and with that Bangladesh's hopes have been flattened. India win by four wickets!

Drama here! Phew! India have lost a wicket! Vijay Shankar goes for the big shot, but hits it high in the air. The ball goes between long-off and long-on fielder. The both collide, the ball pops out of the fielder's hands and Mehidy Hasan takes it after the fumble. Vijay Shankar c Mehidy Hasan b Soumya Sarkar 17(19) 

18 Mar, 22:31 (IST)

What a batting this by Dinesh Karthik. Comes out and starts smashing Rubel all over the park. 22 runs from this over and that means India now need  12 runs from the last over. This match has swung completely in space of this over. 

18 Mar, 22:27 (IST)

OUT! Sensational bowling this by Mustafizur Rahman. Just one run from it and most importantly gets the wicket of Manish Pandey. Looking to big on the last ball, Pandey holes out to long-on. India now need 35 off last two overs. Manish Pandey c Sabbir Rahman b Mustafizur 28(27) 

18 Mar, 22:20 (IST)

India now need 35 more runs to win from three overs. Mustafizur will bowl the 18th over. Rubel Hossain has one over left and that means Soumya and Mehidy will have to bowl one over. India will be eyeing that over. 

18 Mar, 22:13 (IST)

Manish Pandey has started to open his arms and rightly so. India now need 44 more runs to win from four overs with six wickets in hand. 

18 Mar, 22:04 (IST)

18 Mar, 22:01 (IST)

OUT! Big wicket this for Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma has holed out to long-on fielder.  Bangladeshi fielders are over the moon, they know how big this wicket is. Nazmul Islam picks the wicket and follows it with the "Nagin dance". Rohit c Mahmudullah b Nazmul Islam 56(42) 

18 Mar, 21:52 (IST)

That is fifty for Rohit Sharma! 50 off 35 balls for the India captain. That is his 14th T20I half-century. Meanwhile, India now need 76 more runs to win from 48 balls.

India and Bangladesh have met each other seven times in T20Is and the latter has never been able to register a victory. While India will be looking to make eight out of eight, Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be hoping to change the fortunes this time around. Bangladesh defeated hosts Sri Lanka not just one but twice to make a place in the final. The Shakib Al Hasan-led will be looking to keep the winning momentum going as they face India. The men in Blue may be without some of their regulars, but the side has been in impressive form. The Rohit Sharma-led side have lost just one game thus far in the tri-series and apparently are unbeaten in their last three matches. You can catch the live streaming of IND vs BAN T20I match here.

After the controversy that occurred towards the end of Bangladesh’s contest against Sri Lanka, the Tigers will be looking to forget that and put up a good show against India. The odds might not be in favour for Bangladesh, but they have a side which can ‘upset’ India. However, they need to be at their absolute best to unsettle India.

Going into the final, India will likely include Jaydev Unadkat, who missed the last game against Bangladesh. Mohammad Siraj, in that case, will have to sit out. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are unlikely to tinker with the winning combination that featured against Sri Lanka.
