Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to field
Dhoni: We would have liked to bowl as well, dew will be a major factor in this part of the world. In the last few games we had to travel a lot, the boys are at their best, the loss against Bangladesh in the previous WC will be in the back our minds and we won't repeat the same mistake. Chawla, Ashwin, Raina and one more fellow (Dhoni forgot the name) is not playing. India are going in with 3 seamers.

Shakib: We would like to bowl first, the dew factor may come into play. Hopefully we will cope with the pressure, we have played around 35 games here and the boys can step up and perform. The players have been working hard, the cricket board has been very helpful. We have had a couple of good series before this. Ashraful is not playing, we will be happy to chase anything
below 260.
