In the Asia Cup 2025, while Team India secured a spot in the Super 4 with two consecutive wins from Group A, Group B witnessed a thrilling turn of events. Afghanistan, which started the tournament with a resounding victory, suffered a defeat against Bangladesh in their subsequent match. Bangladesh, playing their final group stage match, kept their hopes of reaching the Super 4 alive with this win, while Afghanistan’s prospects now hinge on their last match.
The match, played in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, September 16, saw Afghanistan as the favored team. Especially after Bangladesh’s heavy defeat against Sri Lanka in the previous match, it seemed like Litton Das’s team would be eliminated in the group stage itself. However, this did not happen, and due to some players’ strong performances, Bangladesh won the match by 8 runs and also jumped up in the points table.
