Mumbai: India may have to take the field in Saturday's Cricket World Cup final against Sri Lanka here without left arm pacer Ashish Nehra who has fractured the middle finger of his right hand, according to team media manager Ranjib Biswal.

The official said Nehra sustained the injury while fielding during Wednesday's semifinal against Pakistan at Mohali, where he finished with figures of 2-33.
