India take on Bangladesh in their second match of the 2013 SAFF Championship – Group A at the Dashrath Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal today and if one looks at the history books, then India is clearly ahead.

The biggest victory margin was a 3-0 for India, which the Blues achieved three times in their history against our neighbours.
The last match was played between India and Bangladesh at the 2010 South Asian Games in which Bangladesh beat India 1-0 in Dhaka.
