Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh captain: “Credit goes to the boys for the way they stood out in the last few games. We have to take the pressure off, play hard, and fight it out. Mominul is not playing, left-arm spinner Nazmul Islam comes in.”
Rohit Sharma, Indian skipper: “Going to field first. That’s what we’ve done the whole tournament. We’ve done well fielding first throughout the tournament, so I feel like we don’t need to change anything. The guys have delivered over the tournament, and there’s just one last hurdle to cross. We are ready for it. All five guys who missed out in the last game are back for the final.”
