IND vs BAN Playing XI: Bumrah takes a break, could Arshdeep be given an opportunity? Will we see these alterations in India National Teams playing11?
The Indian National Cricket Team, under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav is all set to square off with Bangladesh in the Super Four match of the T20 Asia Cup 2025 today. Bangladesh has suffered a major setback ahead of this match in Dubai. Team captain Liton Das was injured during a practice session. He injured his left rib while batting in the nets, and was immediately examined by the team doctor and physio on the field. Liton laid on the ground for a while, then got up and watched the session from the sidelines, but did not return to bat.
Bangladesh has not appointed a vice-captain for this series. Therefore, the question of who will be the stand-in captain if Liton is ruled out remains. Regarding team balance, Parvez Hossain Emon may find a place in the playing XI, although it is unclear whether he will open the innings.
This is how Bangladesh's T20 Asia Cup 2025 journey has been so far
Bangladesh defeated Hong Kong and Afghanistan in the group stage to advance to the Super Four. They were defeated by Sri Lanka in the group stage. However, they won their first Super Four match, with half-centuries from Hridoy and Saif Hasan proving crucial. A win against India will ensure Bangladesh's path to the final is smoother.
India's unstoppable journey
Meanwhile, if we look at Team India 's journey in this tournament, the Indian team has remained undefeated so far. India won all three matches in the group stage. In the first Super Four match, Team India defeated Pakistan. A win will secure India a place in the final.
