India vs Bangladesh LIVE SCORE, Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours: India takes on Bangladesh for Final spot, check latest updates and score from Dubai

Abhishek Sharma has smashed 132 runs off just 61 balls in the powerplay at a strike rate of 216.29, making him India’s most destructive batter in the first six overs.

India vs Bangladesh is the most lopsided rivalry in T20 internationals among Full Member nations, with India holding a dominant 16-1 head-to-head record.

Bangladesh could opt for Tanzim Sakib in place of Shoriful Islam, banking on his record against India. Their new-ball attack has impressed in this tournament, conceding just 6.79 per over in the powerplay. Taskin Ahmed, with 28 powerplay wickets since 2023 — the third most among Full Member bowlers — remains their biggest threat to India’s in-form openers.

India are likely to stick with the same XI, with assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirming they’ll field their strongest side until a final spot is secured. Jasprit Bumrah, despite being expensive against Pakistan, is expected to retain his place. Sanju Samson’s struggles in the middle order — 408 runs in 23 matches at an average of 20.40 and strike rate of 121.8 — make him a key target for Bangladesh’s spinners.

Bangladesh face an injury concern ahead of the Super Four clash as Litton Das sustained a back strain during training. A final decision on his availability will be taken closer to the start of the match.

Axar Patel, who bowled just one over against Pakistan while carrying a neck patch, is expected to be available for selection against Bangladesh. The all-rounder has had a few days to recover from the head blow he sustained in Abu Dhabi and could return to provide balance to the Indian XI.

The India vs Bangladesh Super Four match will be played on September 24 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, starting at 6:30 PM local time (8:00 PM IST). Fans in India can watch the action live on Sony Sports channels, with streaming available on SonyLIV, Fancode, and Airtel Xstream.

The India vs Bangladesh Super Four clash will be played on September 24 at 6:30 PM local time (8:00 PM IST) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The pitch is expected to be slow and low, similar to India’s last outing against Pakistan, though dew could play a bigger role with cooler evening temperatures in the city.

Pakistan remain in contention for a spot in the Asia Cup 2025 final after their five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the Super Four stage. With one win and one loss, they sit second on the table with an NRR of +0.226. For qualification, Pakistan must beat Bangladesh in their next game; a defeat would confirm their exit.

India’s result against Bangladesh will also be decisive. If India win, they book their final berth, while Pakistan’s clash with Bangladesh becomes a straight shootout. Should both teams end with equal points, net run rate will come into play.

The dream scenario for fans is still alive — if Pakistan beat Bangladesh and India prevail too, the stage will be set for an India vs Pakistan final on September 28. However, an upset by Bangladesh could complicate matters, making NRR the deciding factor. Pakistan’s path remains open, but it is a do-or-die situation.

Fresh off their win against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh will rely on Mustafizur Rahman’s variations and Mahedi Hasan’s control in Dubai’s slow conditions. Their bowling attack remains their biggest strength as they aim to test India’s unbeaten run.

India currently lead the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four table with 2 points and the best net run rate of +0.689. Pakistan and Bangladesh also have 2 points each, but with lower NRRs of +0.226 and +0.121 respectively, while Sri Lanka are at the bottom with two losses. A win against Bangladesh will ensure India stay firmly on top, while even a defeat may not dislodge them unless Bangladesh secure a big-margin victory.

Abhishek Sharma has been India’s standout performer, providing explosive starts at the top. Support from Tilak Varma, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson has steadied the middle order, while Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy have been crucial with the ball. Shivam Dube’s knack for wickets adds balance, even as Jasprit Bumrah searches for rhythm.

The Dubai surface has proven tricky for run scoring in Asia Cup 2025, with batting easing up under lights as dew comes into play. India comfortably chased 171 in their last outing here, and a similar score is expected to be competitive again.

India are expected to field a strong XI with Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah in the lineup, while Bangladesh could go with Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Mahedi Hasan, and Mustafizur Rahman leading their challenge in Dubai.
