After receiving a five-wicket defeat from Sri Lanka in the opening match of the ongoing Tri-Nation Nidahas Twenty20 Cup, India will look to comeback when they take on Bangladesh in their second match here in Colombo on Thursday.

India have met Bangladesh five times in the format and have won all, reports the ANI.

The last time the two sides faced each other was in World T20 in 2016. Bangladesh needed two runs from three balls to knock out the hosts. Instead, a senior batsman allowed his emotions to get the better of him, and India pounced to claim a heart-stopping one-run victory.

Bangladesh have recently also lost the T20I home series 2-0 against Sri Lanka last month.

India have rested their key players for the series and is led by opener Rohit Sharma in the absence of their regular skipper Virat Kohli.

Bangladesh will also come into the series without their regular skipper Shakib Al-Hasan, who has been ruled out due to injury.

Mahmudullah Riyad will take the charge of the team in his absence.

Bangladesh have the raw materials in place, but following a poor home series against Sri Lanka, they have come into this series a little bruised. Without Shakib Al Hasan in the top order, they are not producing runs as consistently as they have done over the past two years, and their bowling appears a little light - particularly as Mustafizur Rahman's efficiency has recently waned, reports the ESPNCricinfo.

Bangladesh do, however, have one thing this Indian side does not have — a win on Sri Lankan soil, on this trip. A comprehensive victory in their practice match in Colombo on Tuesday will have helped repair some of the damage sustained in their most-recent series. Whether that is sufficient to put them on even terms with India, remains to be seen.

India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will face each other twice in the tournament and the top two will make the Final, which is slated to be played on March 18.
