Port of Spain: By their dramatic comeback in the tournament, a rejuvenated India will be eagerly looking for yet another title triumph when they clash with an equally determined Sri Lanka in the final of the tri-nation ODI series here on Thursday.
The reigning Champions Trophy winners may also get a further boost with the possibility of their regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni returning to the playing XI after being laid low by a hamstring injury. A decision will be taken about Dhonis avaibility before the toss.
The Indians fought back with two bonus-point wins to cruise into the final at the expense of hosts West Indies,after back-to-back defeats in the first leg of the tournament.Despite the absence of Dhoni ,stand-in skipper Virat Kohli successfully braved a difficult phase with the Men in Blue rising to the occasion.
India entered the final as table-toppers having posted two wins from four matches same as the other two teams but they had the advantage of enjoying a better net run-rate.
