India’s Abhishek Sharma continued to impress in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 as he scored back-to-back fifties, including a 75-run knock against Bangladesh on Wednesday (Sep 24).

Despite the good start, Abhishek failed to capitalise as he was dismissed before completing his ton.
Abhishek impresses again
Having scored 74 against Pakistan, Abhishek continued to excel on Wednesday as he took the attack against Bangladesh. His 75-run innings included 5 sixes and 6 fours as he scored at a rate of 202. His fifty was scored in mere 25 balls and together with Gill, he stitched a partnership of 77 runs for the first wicket. The pair had earlier put together 105 runs for the opening wicket against Pakistan on Sunday in the first Super Four clash.
