In the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash, India are up against Bangladesh in a match crucial for maintaining momentum toward the final. India are batting first after losing the toss against Bangladesh. The young Indian openers Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma started the innings on a fiery note.
However, Gill was dismissed on 29 off 19 balls, including two boundaries and one six while Sharma’s innings came at a stage when Bangladesh’s bowlers were aiming to tighten the middle overs. He countered their plans by punishing anything slightly loose and rotating strike cleverly, slamming a half-century in just 24 balls. His aggression and precision helped India maintain a high run rate while building partnerships that stabilized the chase.
The impact of Sharma’s innings was felt not only in runs but also in the psychological edge it gave India. His quickfire knock disrupted Bangladesh’s rhythm, forcing their bowlers into defensive lines and creating opportunities for Indian batsmen to capitalize.
India lost two wickets in 10 overs
Abhishek Sharma’s 24-ball half-century was a statement, showcasing his ability to dominate in high-pressure T20 situations. However, after Gill's dismissal, Shivam Dube couldnt survive either and was dismissed on just two runs. As we write, captain Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma are batting on the crease.
India have posted 96 at the loss of two wickets in 10 overs. This innings further might cement Sharma’s reputation as one of India’s most promising T20 talents. His shot selection, ability to find gaps, and fearless attitude under pressure make him a match-winner in the shortest format. Now, everything depends on captain and Sharma's performance will help India set a good target on the board. If the Men in Blue win today, they'll directly qualify for the finals.
