The Asia Cup 2025 Super Four continues with a high-stakes clash between India and Bangladesh in Dubai. India enter the contest as firm favourites, riding on a dominant run in T20Is where they have won 32 of their last 35 matches.
Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian side is looking to secure an early path to the final with another commanding performance.
Bangladesh, however, are in confident spirits after stunning Sri Lanka in their opening Super Four fixture. Their spin duo of Mahedi Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman exploited the slow conditions to perfection, and they will look to do the same against India. The big question is whether Bangladesh can break their poor record against India, having lost 16 of their last 17 encounters.
For India, the spotlight is on Sanju Samson, who is being tested in the middle order. His battle against Mustafizur’s clever variations could decide the pace of the innings. Bangladesh, meanwhile, are banking on skipper Litton Das to provide stability at the top despite carrying a slight back strain.
The pitch in Dubai has remained on the slower side, making run-scoring in the middle overs challenging. With India’s spin strength and Bangladesh’s tactical use of cutters, this promises to be a gripping contest. A win here would put either side within touching distance of the final.
