Hosts hope for a better show

SPORTS REPORTER
Bangladesh will try to build on their improved batting display against South Africa on Monday when they take on fancied India in the return-leg match of the TVS Cup tri-series at the Bangabandhu national Stadium today.
Khaled Mahmud's men have apparently buried batting blues on Monday night by going past 200 for the first time in their last 17 matches. They managed 211 against the Proteas at the same venue, where

they tumbled to their second lowest one-day score of 77 against India in the opening match last Friday.
Although the home side lost both the games against India and South Africa, they want to prove a point against Ganguly's young side in this repeat clash by putting up another good batting performance.
Bangladesh made one change to the team that played against South Africa. The selectors dropped middle-order batsman Sanwar Hossain and gave experienced opener Mehrab Hossain a second chance after the latter scored a duck in the opening game.
The lone one-day centurion of the country is likely to bat at number three as Javed Omar is going to open the innings with Mohammad Ashraful.
Ashraful, the talented young righthander, entertained the home supporters on Monday night with a strokeful 52, his second one-day fifty.
The Bangladesh team did not train outdoors yesterday. The Indian team, which has virtually ensured their place in the April 20 final with two wins, made a brief appearance at the big bowl in the afternoon.
But their inspirational captain Saurav Ganguly and his deputy decided to stay back at the hotel.
Ganguly, who led India to the World Cup final in South Africa last month, is unlikely to play today's match. Besides, left-arm paceman Zaheer Khan is also to miss the game after he picked a hamstring injury during their last match.
India coach John Wright confirmed the injury and said that Aaviskhar Salvi would replace him. Salvi made his debut in the opening match and captured two wickets.
Wright, the former New Zealand opener, said that he might shuffle the batting if Ganguly did not play. He also said that he would push young wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel up the batting order.
