Nidahas Trophy 2018 - India and Bangladesh in Sri Lanka T20I Tri-Series

Disappointed with the way Raina and Rahul gave away their wickets. Totally wrong to get out hit wicket. And Raina after that hit for six, should have looked for two's and quick singles to keep the run rate healthy rather than go for another big shot. His hyper aggression since his return has not helped him. He looked the best today and was in sight for a big score, but yet again threw it away

A wicket here will break India open and give Sri Lanka a huge chance.
 
As far as Pandey is there, it will be a comfortable win for us.
 
After seeing Manish Pandey from a couple of series , he is worth of some big amount in IPL. Good pick by [HASHTAG]#orangearmy[/HASHTAG].
 
DK has been pretty good, producing whatever is required from him in the few recent matches I saw. Fine win there, good comeback from Thakur as well.
 
Very well batted by both Pandey and DK (Karthik). I actually wanted Pant in this game, but kudos to Karthik for making me eat humble pie. :D He has actually batted very well in the opportunities that he has got so far. Pant just has to wait for his chance, and grab them when he gets it.
 
DK's form is also boosted by the fact that he is going to captain IPL's most dashing side (SRK factor)
 
100 for Sharma. You heard it here first

:facepalm With this inning he has saved himself for another 2-3 series. Problem with Indian cricket is we do not chop players based on form. We only chop players who go out of captains reckoning.
 
This is a very mediocre innings from Rohit ... scoring 59 in 50 is fine in ODIs. Too slow in T20s for an opener

Raina doing well ... compensating as much as he can for Rohit's slowness

The only good thing about Rohit is he makes up the S/R in the end. If you see now he is playing at 87 of 58 with 150's strike rate which is good enough.
 
Rohit scored 89 today despite looking very scratchy. He was struggling to connect most of the time and was not at all fluent. But kudos to him for sticking out there! Raina batted really well for his 47 and gave the innings the much required aggression. His innings helped Rohit wade through and start hitting on his own. But that last over of Rubel Hossain was brilliant. Hope it does not make the difference in the end result.

If rain stays away, India should feel that they are ahead here. It's not easy to get the pace going on this track and if rain doesn't come, Indian bowlers can halt the pace better than Sri Lanka and keep Bangladesh down.
 
Shardul Thakur going for big in his very first over every match .
