What's the story

Bangladesh will fight for a historic clean sweep in the third ODI against India on Saturday (December 10). Having clinched the first two games, the Bangla Tigers have already sealed the series and would be high on confidence. On the other hand, India have nothing but pride to play for and they would like to avoid the whitewash. Here is the preview.

Match details

Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details

The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host this affair. Chasing sides have won 15 of 23 ODIs played here. The track is known to provide substantial assistance to bowlers, with the average first innings score being 215. The match will be telecast live on Sony Sports Network (11:30 AM IST) and live-streamed on the SonyLIV app.

Information

Here's the head-to-head record

Team India still enjoys a 30-7 win-loss record against Bangladesh in the format (NR: 1). The Men in Blue had lost the away series in 2015 by a 2-1 margin. Bangladesh, hence, have registered just their second series win against India in ODIs.

BAN vs IND

Multiple injury concerns in Indian camp

Regular skipper Rohit Sharma, Deepak Chahar, and Kuldeep Sen have been ruled out of the series. The same has largely hampered India's plan. KL Rahul would lead the team, and he will have a job in hand. On the other hand, Bangladesh's top order hasn't fired in the series so far. Their bowlers, however, have been brilliant across all phases.
