In reply, Bangladesh struggled to gain momentum from the start. India’s bowling unit came out with clear plans and executed them with precision. Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav was the standout performer with figures of 3 wickets, troubling the Bangladeshi batters with his flight and variation. Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy also made crucial contributions, picking up 2 wickets each to maintain constant pressure.
Bangladesh’s innings eventually folded for 127 in 19.3 overs. Despite brief resistance from the middle order, regular wickets derailed their chase. India’s disciplined bowling sealed the match.
With this victory, India not only secured two crucial points in the Super 4 stage but also became the first team to officially qualify for the Asia Cup 2025 final. They will now face the winner of the upcoming Pakistan vs Bangladesh clash.
