Colombo [Sri Lanka], March 18: India will take on Bangladesh in the summit clash of the Nidahas Trophy tri-nation T20 series at the R Premadasa Stadium here on Sunday.

After losing to Sri Lanka in the opener, India are the favourites to lift the title as they have registered three consecutive wins, including two against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, reached the final with a thrilling win over the hosts. While Bangladesh has relied on their senior batsmen to make it to the finals, India has banked on youth in the absence of their key players.

Indian stand-in captain Rohit Sharma has hit form with the bat while Washington Sundar has been doing damages with the ball. For the Men in Green, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah have shepherded successful chases against Sri Lanka.

The culminating match of the series will be the eighth T20 face-off between the two teams. The Men in Blue have emerged victorious in all the previous seven occasions. Also, India has won nine of their 11 games at the R Premadasa Stadium.

India (Likely XI): Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma (c), Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Vijay Shankar, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Jaydev Unadkat.

Bangladesh (probable XI): Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah (c), Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Rubel Hossain, and Nazmul Islam.
