Nidahas Trophy 2018: IND vs BAN- Match Prediction

After a nail-biting encounter last night, Bangladesh will face India in tomorrow’s final. Previously, India already booked a place in the finals after a thumping win over Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, Nidahas Trophy is a tri-nation T20 tournament including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and India. Further, it marks the 70 years of Sri Lankan independence. SLC also released a book on former BCCI and CAB President Jagmohan Dalmiya on the occasion of their 70th independence.

The men in blues have shown utter dominance throughout this tournament. Following India’s loss to Sri Lanka in the first match, the Rohit Sharma led side has looked behind. They have dominated both with bat and ball to reach the finals.

On the other hand, Bangladesh had a mixed tournament but won matches at crunch situation. Previously, they pulled off a record chase of 215 runs against Sri Lanka. Not they beat the host by two wickets to enter the finals.

However, India has done tremendously well against Bangladesh recently. They defeated the Tigers with utter dominance in the two group matches. Also, Bangladesh has not defeated India in a T20I match ever.

Match Prediction:

Coming from three back to back wins in the series so far, India is likely to win the final of this prestigious tournament. However, Bangladesh has also held their nerves in two crunch matches to reach the finals.

India has experienced cricketers in their ranks who have played finals before and are capable of winning matches. However, Bangladesh is a team going through a transformation and relies heavily on few cricketers.

With history and statistics behind their back, Rohit Sharma and his men are likely to win the Nidahas Trophy 2018.
