After a thrilling victory over Pakistan, India will take on Bangladesh in today’s Asia Cup Super 4 clash, expecting to face a tricky spin attack. Historically, India dominate, having won 16 of 17 T20 encounters, but Bangladesh’s wrist spinners Rishad Hossain and Mahedi Hasan, along with pacer Mustafizur Rahman, could make things interesting.
India’s batting looks formidable, with Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill in red-hot form. However, Tilak Varma’s recent struggles against spin and the middle-order responsibility on him and Sanju Samson could be crucial if early wickets fall. Bangladesh will rely on restricting India to a chaseable total while hoping their batters, led by Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy, step up.
Bangladesh’s strategy will likely focus on bowling first, with Mustafizur and the pacers aiming to build pressure during the powerplay. The spinners’ role in the middle overs will be vital to choke the scoring rate and create opportunities for wickets, potentially forcing India into a cautious approach.
For India, the key will be maintaining momentum against the spinners while capitalizing on any loose deliveries.
