A struggling Indian team, severely depleted by a spate of on-field injuries and fitness-related problems, will be determined to avoid the ignominy of a clean sweep against Bangladesh in the final ODI of the three-match series here on Saturday.

Mehidy’s magical knocks

Bangladesh, riding on two contrasting yet brilliant knocks from Mehidy Hasan Miraz have already sealed the series after winning the first two matches but if Litton Das’s men can blank the Men in Blue 3-0, it will be a historic first in the country’s cricket. For India, there were 20 cricketers originally available for this series but call it a cruel twist of fate as within a week things have gone from bad to worse and they only have 14 fit and available players to choose from for the final game.
