India vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup 2025, Highlights: India entered the final of the Asia Cup 2025 after they beat Bangladesh by 41 runs in the Super Four clash on Wednesday (Sep 24). Playing at the Dubai International Stadium, India got the better of Bangladesh despite a batting collapse as the Men in Blue are now a step away from defending their title. As things stand, India will now face the winners of the Bangladesh-Pakistan clash, which takes place on Thursday.
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.
However, Abhishek was unfortunate to have been run out on the first ball of the 12th over after a poor call saw the end of his innings. His wicket also saw the collapse of the Indian batting innings as the Men in Blue slumped to a poor second half.
At the break, India closed their innings at 168/6 in 20 overs with Abhishek top scoring. Hardik Pandya was the second-highest scorer with 38 off 29 and Gill scored 29 before the duo was dismissed.
Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss as deputy skipper Jaker Ali decided to bowl first. Litton Das was ruled out after a back injury, with Bangladesh set to face Pakistan on Thursday. The Tigers played a second-string squad with an eye on the Pakistan game.

Bangladesh will be happy after how the second half of the Indian innings played out. India was going for a big total with Abhishek Sharma attacking but a great piece of fielding by Rishad Hossain at that point got him run out and collapsed out India’s momentum. Now, to win the match, Bangladesh need 169 runs.
Tilak Varma departs here as Bangladesh have the momentum now. Tilak went for a big shot but mistimed it completely and got caught by Saif.

Blow for India as Shivam Dube departs for 2 runs off 3 balls. It is Rishad Hossain again who gets the breakthrough. It was a simple bowl from the bowler which Dube tried to hit over long-on and ended up getting out.
Shivam Dube c Towhid Hridoy b Rishad Hossain 2 (3 balls)
It was a sensational powerplay for India. Although, Abhishek Sharma failed to connect it properly in the first three overs and India managed to scored only 17. But in the next three overs, India scored 55 runs and concluded the powerplay on high at 72/0.
This is good batting from both Indian batters, Gill and Abhishek. They have put on a 50-run opening stand yet again.
Left-arm orthodox Nasum Ahmed bowled the second over of the innings and conceded seven runs in it. India's Abhishek Sharma hit the spinner for a four through backward point on the fourth ball of the over.
Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are in the middle to open the innings for India. Tanzim Hasan Sakib has the ball in hand.
Jaker Ali: We would like to bowl first. He (Litton) got injured during a practice session and unfortunately misses out on this crucial game. I am excited and looking forward to this game. We are doing really well as a team and we will try to give our best. We will try to restrict them and chase it down. Surface looks pretty good to bat. We have got four changes.
Suryakumar Yadav: We are happy doing it. We have got what we wanted in the last 4-5 games and we are happy to bat first. We have to follow the good things that we have been doing and the results will take care of itself. The boys have done their bit, it is part of the game (dropped catches). Much pleasant (weather). Same team.
