Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to field first at Rajkot.
The hosts need a win, and nothing less if they are to keep the series alive. If Bangladesh win again, the T20I trophy is undisputedly theirs.
The ground at Rajkot is known to be a batting paradise, but torrential rain (from Cyclone Maha) had cast some doubts on this match. The rain, however, has relented and the afternoon had bright skies and the evening has been dry.
