In the Asia Cup Super Four, both Bangladesh and India have won one match each, placing them on equal footing on paper. However, the reality on the ground is very different.
India has been undefeated so far in the tournament and is in scintillating form. Failing to reach the final would be considered a major upset. On the other hand, Bangladesh, having started their Super Four campaign with a win over Sri Lanka, also harbours high hopes. However, to make it to the final, Bangladesh must overcome two tough opponents: India and Pakistan. Today’s match, therefore, represents a true trial by fire for Bangladesh.
India, while viewing the match as an opportunity to secure a place in the final, does not consider it an insurmountable challenge. Instead, there is a high likelihood of changes in the playing XI to further strengthen the team. Several new faces may appear in today’s side compared to the one that defeated Pakistan.
Key Potential Changes
Role | Current Player | Possible Replacement | Reason |
Wicketkeeper | Sanju Samson | Jitesh Sharma | Samson has played four matches but has had little impact with the bat. Jitesh, known for aggressive batting, could be an effective option in the middle order. |
Pace Bowler | Jasprit Bumrah | Arshdeep Singh | Bumrah struggled against Pakistan, conceding 45 runs in 4 overs without taking a wicket. Arshdeep, a left-arm pacer, could return to the side; he achieved his 100th T20I wicket during the group stage against Oman. |
All-rounder | Axar Patel | Rinku Singh | Rinku, in the squad from the start but yet to get a match opportunity, might replace Axar Patel, who has taken just 3 wickets in 4 matches. |
Probable Indian XI
Regardless of the final composition, India’s primary objective remains winning today’s match. A victory will not only smoothen the path to the final but also allow the team to approach the last Super Four fixture against Sri Lanka with greater confidence and reduced pressure.
India’s blend of experienced campaigners and potential debutants like Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma reflects a strategy focused on both consolidating form and testing options ahead of the final.
