As the Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours heat up, all eyes are on India’s clash against Bangladesh in Dubai today. India currently sit at the top of the points table with 2 points and the best net run rate (+0.689) among the four teams. Their unbeaten run so far in the tournament, including two convincing wins over Pakistan in the group stage, has given them a strong footing.
The stakes for India and Bangladesh
If India secure a win today, they will strengthen their hold on the top spot and move closer to sealing a berth in the final. A victory will also eliminate Sri Lanka, who have lost both their Super Four games and remain winless.
Bangladesh, however, also stand on 2 points after beating Sri Lanka, but their net run rate (+0.121) is significantly lower than India’s. A win for Bangladesh would put them in contention to top the table, while pushing India into a must-win situation against Pakistan in their remaining fixture.
Pakistan’s equation
Pakistan, with 2 points from 2 matches and a net run rate of +0.226, are sandwiched between India and Bangladesh. They will hope for an Indian win today to keep the race for the second final spot alive.
Scenario ahead
At this stage, India’s superior net run rate gives them an edge, but the outcome of today’s clash against Bangladesh could reshape the standings. With both teams level on points, India will look to preserve their dominance, while Bangladesh will aim for a statement win to leapfrog into the top spot.
