With this victory, the Men in Blue have secured a spot in the tournament's final, which will be played this Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India has successfully defended its score of 168 against Bangladesh in their Asia Cup Super 4 encounter.
With this victory, the Men in Blue have secured a spot in the tournament's final, which will be played this Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan and Bangladesh will now battle it out in a virtual semi final to decide who will challenge India for the trophy.
India Set a Modest Total
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first. They were missing their captain, who had to sit out due to an injury.
The Indian innings started as usual, Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill powering through, hitting consistent boundaries, with the former going on to achieve another 50. However, Bangladesh were able to put a stopper on the run-scoring though, first getting Gill right after the Power Play.
Shivam Dube was promoted up the order, but failed to capitalize. Abhishek Sharma would then depart on 75, thanks to a run out, with Suryakumar Yadav following soon after.
Through quick wickets and energetic fielding, Bangladesh were able to hold the Men in Blue back to just 168, picking 6 wickets.
Bangladesh Falter After Explosive Start
Just like India, Bangladesh also had a fiery start, despite losing the first wicket pretty quickly to Jasprit Bumrah.
Nevertheless, the Asia Cup defending champions eventually got their grip on the game, bringing down the run rate, and picking wickets in quick succession.
Saif Hassan held the fort at one end for quite a bit, scoring a 50, but the fall of wickets on the other end would prove detrimental for the team overall. In the end, Bangladesh were bowled out on 127 runs.
