Yes, there is forecast of scattered rainfall which is not good news at all for cricket lovers. The forecast is for 30 per cent chance of precipitation. The humidity would be at a generous 55-60 per cent, which should be ideal for the game.

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj.

Meanwhile, India faced little trouble in defending the total as left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh found his bowling wares, leading the restriction of Bangladesh to 122 for nine.

There was a token fightback from Mahmudullah Riyaz (40 retired out; 28b, 4×4, 1×6) and Shakib Al Hasan (28), who milked 75 runs for the sixth-wicket.

But it helped Bangladesh only to reduce the margin of defeat after they were reduced to 41 for five.

There were no signs of Yashasvi Jaiswal down the order as well, with the likes of Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja coming out to bat.
