As they gear up for the Twenty20 tri-series title clash against a formidable India, skipper Shakib Al Hasan says Bangladesh have "momentum" after their spectacular win over the hosts.

Bangladesh eked out a thrilling two-wicket win over Sri Lanka in a nail-biting virtual semi-final last night to book a place in the final. "India are a very good side but we have the momentum, so hopefully we can continue the performance," said Shakib. Talking about the semi-final, Shakib said: "You can't expect more than that in a T20 game. There was everything. Emotions, drama, everything."
