IND vs BAN Asia Cup 2025 Match Live Cricket Score Updates: India already have one foot in the final of the 2025 Asia Cup and a win against Bangladesh in their second match of the Super Fours on Wednesday could seal the deal. Bangladesh may be the only unbeaten team apart from India in this tournament thus far but even then, the latter are outright favourites to seal a big win due to just how dominant they have been since winning the 2024 T20 World Cup itself.

Evening time temperatures have been dropping in Dubai and with that, comes an increase in dew, something that has been seen in India’s nets sessions as well off late in the ICC Academy. Spinners have, in particular, dominated the proceedings at Dubai Cricket Ground, accounting for the majority of the wickets. The venue is yet to witness a 200-plus total in the last three years.

By Suryakumar Yadav’s definition of rivalry, India-Bangladesh contests should be no rivalry at all. India have bossed their neighbours to the west as they had those in the east in T20Is. The 17 contests have yielded a solitary victory for Bangladesh. It’s a pantomime rivalry, never blossoming into a full-fledged battle of equals, despite the niggles, fractured diplomacy, sporadic upsets and several hostile flashpoints that eventually fizzled out.
The echoes of a mismatch ring aloud on the eve of their latest encounter too. India’s assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate was kinder in his assessment of Bangladesh. “We respect Bangladesh. I think they have a solid variety. They’ve kind of adapted their cricket to the new style of T20,” he said. But India are undefeated, swaggering and riding the wave of buoyancy after grounding every team to dust. Bangladesh are still feeling the pulse of the ever leaping format, a team unable to identify their USP. The reliance on left-arm spinners has gone; the surge of quicks has flatlined. The latest obsession is big-hitting batsmen, yet none this series has managed a strike rate of 130 plus. Their great gift is the diversity of their bowlers.
