Don't underestimate Bangladesh, warns Dravid

CRICKET: Rahul Dravid has warned India not to underestimate Asian rivals Bangladesh when the two sides meet in the World Cup on Saturday.

Bangladesh pulled off a stunning win over New Zealand in the warm-ups last week and the Indian skipper is wary of complacency creeping into his highly-fancied side. "I expect the team to put up a very professional and clinical performance, irrespective of who we play against. We respect Bangladesh. We have seen what they have done against New Zealand," said Dravid.

"We have to be switched on for that game. I expect everyone to be switched on for every game in the World Cup." Dravid said his team had been looking forward to playing against Bangladesh at what should be a packed Queen's Park Oval.

"We are happy to be in Trinidad. We do enjoy a lot of support here. We are looking forward to playing that game and I think the atmosphere will be very exciting," added the Indian captain.

India will also play Group B matches here against Sri Lanka and debutants Bermuda, with the top two sides qualifying for the next Super Eight stage.
