India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup final on Friday.
India remain the favourites to lift the Asia Cup for a record seventh time.
Bangladesh has been plagued by injuries, but will look to upset the clear favourites to win the tournament for the third time.
Denying another India-Pakistan clash, Bangladesh stormed into the final after Mushfiqur Rahim produced an all-round performance to stun Pakistan.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and opener partner Shikhar Dhawan are back after being rested for the Super Four match against Afghanistan that ended in a tie. Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal are expected to strengthen the bowling attack.
Bangladesh is expected to struggle owing to a string of injuries. The side is already missing its star batsman Tamim Iqbal, who is out with a fractured hand, and all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan, who is out with a finger injury.
India, on the other hand, look confident of winning the tournament. After the 1-4 hammering the side received in the Test series against England, India would definitely want to finish on a high. Winning the Asia Cup without skipper Virat Kohli would also make a strong statement for the team.
