Two back-to-back matches of the three-match series will be played under lights at the Bangabandhu National Stadium with India leading 1-0 after defeating the home side by 11 runs.

Back from Chittagong, both the teams skipped training on Christmas Eve and they are scheduled to practise this morning at the Big Bowl.

The visitors, who returned to the capital on Thursday night, had a training schedule in the afternoon. However, the whole team, following light gym work and swimming session in the morning at the hotel, attended a crowded reception at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka and did not go to BNS.

A few Indian cricketers were seen shopping in the evening.

The Tigers, on the other hand, returned to Dhaka yesterday in two batches and rested.

The close finish in Chittagong, where a 25,000-plus crowd enjoyed the first ODI, pushed up ticket sales and for the first time during the whole series, ticket touts were very active on Friday. It is expected that Dhaka will enjoy a bigger crowd in the two day-night matches.

And like the first Test, the groundsmen are preparing sporting wickets where batsmen and bowlers will get equal assistance. Appea-rance of grass on the surface will also inspire both teams to bolster their pace arsenals.

The Indians, eager to give all members of the squad a game in the series, fielded two debutants in Chittagong but are expected to field a full strength by including an out-of-form Virender Sehwag back. Also, Zaheer Khan and Murali Kartik, who also did not play in the first match, hope to return.

The Tigers, who are expected not call up any new faces for the remaining games, will certainly give Mashrafee-Bin-Mortuza a go after the pace spearhead was rested in the port city.

Medium-pacer Mushfiqur Rahman looks set to make way for Mashrafee as the team's think-tank will certainly not consider going into the game with five seamers.

Despite playing a sedate 52-ball nine in his backyard, Chittagonian opener Nafees Iqbal -- reportedly playing slow under instruction from the team management -- will keep his place in the first eleven as well as middle-order batsman Rajin Saleh, who was surprisingly chosen for the one-day series after being dropped from the second and final Test for poor form.
