As for Bangladesh, they finished second in their group, ahead of Australia and New Zealand, to make it to the semi-finals. After losing their opening match against England, their second match against Australia was cancelled due to rain and a strong performance by Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah against New Zealand ensured a semi-final spot.
The two nations have faced each other 33 times in the past with Bangladesh just winning five of those matches and there is no doubt that India will be expected to make it to the final of the Champions Trophy 2017.
However, despite India being the favourite on Thursday, they should be wary of this Bangladesh team as they have a few players who could pose a lot of problems to the India players.
Here is a look at a few Bangladesh players who India should fear.
