In-form India would look to continue their recent winning run as they take on a confident Bangladesh in the final of the Asia Cup in Dhaka, on Sunday.

While Indias team director Ravi Shastri has termed it as yet another match, Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza called India as clear favourites to relieve pressure from his young side in the title clash.

"We all know that Indians are clear favourites in the final. Let there be no debates or discussions on that," Mashrafe said on Saturday.

India have been in rampaging form with four convincing wins in the tournament, including the 45-run thumping of Bangladesh in their opening league match.

He said that the league match which India won by 45 runs will have little bearing on tomorrow's final. But paceman Mustafizur's absence should be a challenge for others to stand up and be counted.

"Had we won that first match by 200 runs, it would have mattered little on Sunday. I don't think that would have in anyway helped me as a captain. But yes when we are playing without Mustafiz, it means we are without our best bowler. But this means, as a team we have to take the challenge and other bowlers need to step up and show that we can be good enough without our best bowler," he said.
