Bangladesh have lost 13 of their 15 One-Day Internationals against India, but won two of the last four, including the stunning five-wicket victory in the World Cup that sent Rahul Dravid's men out in the first round.
It was on India's last tour to Bangladesh, in December 2004, that the hosts registered their first ever limited-overs international victory. They beat their more fancied neighbours by 15 runs in one of the matches.
