India and Bangladesh are all set to go head to head in the first of the 3-match ODI series, starting Sunday, December 4. Rain has not left Team India alone for the past few weeks as both series vs New Zealand were impacted by weather. India won the T20 series, but lost the ODI leg of the tour.

Will Toss Matter?
