#4 Miss: Indian left-handed batsmen
Since Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina are among the most experienced campaigners of the Indian squad for this tri-series, a lot was expected from the duo in the final. Their early dismissals put India in a spot of bother, considering they had lost two wickets within the first four overs of a tricky chase.
Dhawan was the first Indian wicket to fall on the day. He was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan, who decided to lead from the front and opened the bowling for his team. The left-hander was dismissed in the fourth over of the game after scoring just 10 runs off 7 deliveries.
Raina's stay at the crease was even shorter than his predecessor. He was troubled by the right-arm pace of Rubel Hossain, and returned to the pavilion without troubling the scorers in the three deliveries that he faced.
India were struggling at 32-2 after 3.3 overs after the dismissals of the left-handed duo.
