India look to salvage pride in final ODI against Bangladesh




Mirpur: Stung by their first-ever series defeat against Bangladesh, undefire India will look to salvage some pride and prevent the hosts from registering a rare clean sweep when they go into the third and final cricket one-dayer here tomorrow.
After being outplayed in the first two ODIs to give the hosts an unassailable 2-0 lead, the visitors have faced severe criticism from all quarters, but beleaguered skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni insists that the current team has the best available players.
The Men in Blue have been outplayed in virtually every department of the game since their 79-run loss in the first match and the slide has been difficult to arrest.
The Indians will be keen to win the last match of the series and save face as a whitewash will be really embarassing for the team which reached the final of the World Cup earlier this year.
But they have to plug all the loopholes to get the better of a spirited Bangladesh. The top-order's form has been patchy while the team has suffered from lack of partnerships in the middle-order.
