Updates:
Bangladesh have suffered a massive blow as their regular captain Litton Das has missed out on the big game against Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash at the Dubai International Stadium. Jaker Ali, the stand-in skipper, announced four changes to their XI but Suryakumar Yadav said they are sticking to the same XI.
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali(w/c), Mohammad Saifuddin, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.
India (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson(w), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy.
A rampant Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, are out to seal their spot in the XI as they face Bangladesh in the Super 4 contest of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Stadium. With Pakistan falling like a pack of cards twice to Team India, it remains to be seen if Bangladesh can challenge the Men in Blue.
Team India started their campaign with a nine-wicket victory over the UAE, followed by defeating Pakistan by seven wickets. They suffered a minor scare against Oman but prevailed and followed it up by toppling Pakistan for the second time to start their Super 4 stage on a high. Keeping in mind, India's strong record against Bangladesh - winning 16 out of 17 T20I matches - the Men in Blue will be high on confidence.
Bangladesh, who have been putting on an underwhelming show across tournaments for years, seemed to have found some formula for success. The Tigers' recent success has been based on how explosively Saif Hassan and Tanzid Tamim have been at the top. Mustafizur Rahman, who bowled an outstanding spell in the previous game against Sri Lanka, will be pivotal for them in all phases of the bout against India.
