India face Bangladesh in a crucial Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 encounter at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday September 24, night. The game begins at 8pm IST, with the toss at 7.30pm India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, opened their Super 4 campaign with a commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan, chasing down 173 in 18.5 overs. Abhishek Sharma, the world’s top-ranked T20I batter, has led India’s run-scoring charts, while Shubman Gill has also regained form.
Bangladesh, under Litton Das, pulled off a last-ball win against Sri Lanka by chasing 169, with opener Saif Hassan striking a half-century. The side recovered strongly after a league-stage defeat to the same opponent.
Concerns remain over the fitness of captain Litton Das, who missed training earlier this week with a back strain. Team management, however, expect him to be available for selection. Bangladesh will look to build on their momentum against the only unbeaten team in the tournament.
Despite an inconsistent outing against Pakistan, Jasprit Bumrah is set to lead the pace attack. Team India are unlikely to experiment with their set-up, relying on Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel for depth in the middle and Kuldeep Yadav alongside Varun Chakravarthy for spin. India are unlikely to change the XI that beat Pakistan.
