India continued to put themselves under the pressure of posting a total and defending in the dew as they won the toss and decided to bat first. Najmul Hassan Shanto, the Bangladesh captain, said Bangladesh would have chased anyway. India, currently leading the T20I series 2-0, are looking to complete a whitewash across formats after winning the Tests 2-0.

This was Mahmudullah's last T20 international for Bangladesh. He was presented a memento at the end of the huddle during the warm-ups.
