Dravid - India's backs are to the wall.

India captain Rahul Dravid has warned his side that they have their "backs to the wall" and are facing the real possibility of World Cup elimination.

Pakistan - whose tournament has taken a grim turn with the shock death yesterday of coach Bob Woolmer - were the first nation to be eliminated after unfancied Ireland dealt them a second defeat and Dravid concedes his team could be next.

They face Bermuda in Trinidad in Group B today and will need to win if they are to put their defeat to Bangladesh behind them and keep alive hopes of a spot in the Super Eight stage.

"We've got our task cut out. We've got our backs to the wall and must fight back," said the batsman.

"There were several bad shots and we must now take charge against Bermuda and come out with a big win."

Dravid is pleased to be facing the inexperienced Bermuda attack as India try to get back to their best form before it is too late.

Only former captain Sourav Ganguly, who opened the innings and made 66 and Yuvraj Singh (47) performed with the bat against the Tigers and that is an area Dravid where is looking for improvement.

"It's good that we are meeting them [Bermuda] before the game against Sri Lanka and our batters will be looking to regain some form and confidence.

"The equation is quite simple from here, we must win our next two games if we are to get into the Super Eight."

Bermuda captain Irving Romaine, meanwhile, has admitted his side are relishing the chance to follow in the footsteps of Bangladesh and Ireland and claim another upset.

"Some of the smaller nations are showing what they can do and we would love to join in the upsets," he said.

"They can be very dangerous in their current position, but we are looking to take something out of the game.

"We have had a good three days training and we are working continuously on our fielding, which I think can make a difference to us."

Bermuda coach Gus Logie, a former West Indies Test player, is also hopeful that his side can take some positives from the competition.

"It's part of the learning exercise," he said. "We've have set ourselves little goals. If we can bat out 50 overs against these teams, then that's a plus for us."
