India cannot take Bangladesh lightly as they would also be aiming for the first victory in the series knowing fully well that another defeat would virtually close their passage to the January 13 final.

They have quality batsmen in the likes of Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Ashraful, who seems to have regained a bit of his old touch after an indifferent run last year, with a 75 against Sri Lanka.

But Bangladesh have been hampered in the pace bowling department by the unavailability of Mashrafe Mortaza and injury to Nazmul Hossain, who was replaced by Shahdat Hossain before the tournament.
