India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and sent Bangladesh to bat in their Asian Cup final in Dubai.

“Big game, runs on the board are important. But I guess fielding first is something that suits our team and we have done that superbly, no reason to change it. I think right from game on we knew it would be challenging and lot of people came here with great form, they came out and delivered that. We've played excellent cricket, just one hurdle to cross,” Rohit said after winning the toss.

“We're ready for it. The sole purpose was to come and qualify for the final first and then come out and perform the way have performed. Don't need to change anything, even if it's a big occasion. We've got all five guys who missed out last time back. Unfortunate for the guys who played only one game, but whatever the team demands, we've got to respect that,” Rohit added .

Bangladesh made on change.

Bangladesh Capitan Masrafee Mortaza said, “Credit goes to the boys, the way they've behaved and stood up the last few matches. We have to play hard today and fight till the last ball. Yes we felt were a spinner short, so we've changed that. Appu [Nazmul Islam] is coming in for Mominul. We have a great chance tonight, but you never know, they are the No. 1 side. There's always pressure in the final. If we can cope with it, we have a good chance.”
