India’s Asia Cup 2025 campaign is shaping up in style. After beginning their Super Fours journey with a commanding six-wicket victory, the Men in Blue are set to lock horns with Bangladesh in their second clash of the round.
The contest will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 24, from 8:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India have been flawless so far, winning all four of their matches in the tournament as they chase a record ninth continental crown.
Confidence is sky-high, but Bangladesh will be eager to disrupt India’s momentum and stamp their authority in this crucial encounter.
Players to watch out for
Shubman Gill: The Titans’ skipper showcased his class on Sunday, scoring 47 runs off just 28 balls, laced with eight fours, to raise a century opening stand and set up the run chase. Across formats, the Indian vice-captain has notched 265 runs in eight matches in Dubai, and he looks set to continue his good form at the venue against Bangladesh.
Abhishek Sharma: The 25-year-old southpaw has emerged as one of the breakout stars of this Asia Cup. With 173 runs in four outings, a blazing strike rate of 208.43 and a fifty under his belt, Abhishek has consistently provided India with rapid starts. His 74 off just 39 balls against Pakistan remains one of the highlights of the tournament, dismantling a seasoned bowling attack with ease.
Kuldeep Yadav: India’s spin trump card, Kuldeep Yadav, has been nothing short of sensational. The left-arm wrist spinner tops the wicket charts with nine scalps in four matches, maintaining an economy of just 6.00 and a strike rate of 8.77. His spell of 4/7 against the UAE stands as the best bowling performance of the tournament so far.
