If we take the statement of bangla seriously, then we have no potential to win the cup. Home advantage and ground acclimatization may be a favouable factor for street games. Indians batting and bowling are far better than Bangla. So qualifying for the next stage is no big issue. After that even a simple mistake can halt anybody's progress. As of now Pakistan is the dark horse.

@guru What if we say we dont need s.bags like you in India who live on my tax money? When you get a chance, let us all know how someone cheering for a country got to do with"patriotic refugee" and "go back to Bangladesh". Are you a spontaneous fool?

Guru, what makes you think , he is not in Bangladesh? Many people from Bangladesh,Nepal,Bhutan,SriLanka and Pakistan come to rediff.
Wining practice matches did not means India has win the World Cup. I surely believe that Indian batsman will do better in Indian pitches but only worry is our poor bowling and fielding department which is very weak. If India scores more than 300 runs in a match then no Indian will be 100% sure that Indian bowling will defend this total. So conclusion is that Indian team chances are 50:50 to win this World Cup.

The bowling is the only weak link as far as I am concerned. With the return of Zaheer Khan there should be some stability to the ranks. I am not in favor of Aashish Nehra in this squad. He's a failed product and has done nothing to improve his bowling. Sree is aggressive but can be wayward - the Indian equivalent of Mitchell Johnson. I am sure India will play 2 fast bowlers and 2 spinners in most games.
Seriously, the MEN IN BLUE should win this encounter hands down. However, over confidence won't help. This applies to both teams. Bangladesh must not be over confident simply cause they are playing at home and India on the other hand must not be too confident because of the record they have against the Bangladeshis.
India has to play just the way did against NZ and prove to the Bangladeshis that the 2007 debacle was an off day.
