In the sixth showdown of the Super Four segment of the Asia Cup 2023, we are poised to witness a heated confrontation between Bangladesh (BAN) and India (IND) at the illustrious R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This thrilling contest is scheduled for Friday, September 15. Regrettably, Bangladesh finds themselves eliminated from the Asia Cup 2023 due to their underwhelming showings in the Super Four phase of the competition.
Conversely, Team India has secured their berth in the prestigious tournament’s grand finale. Their journey to this stage involved vanquishing both Pakistan and Sri Lanka during the Super Four stage. The impending duel against Bangladesh, however, is inconsequential in terms of India’s advancement in the tournament, and vice versa.

IND vs BAN Pitch Assessment:
The playing surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is characterized by its sporting nature. Consequently, the fast bowlers may have the opportunity to leave their imprint and revel in favorable conditions. As the cricket ball ages, the batsmen will be eager to launch their attacks. Thus, for the captain who triumphs in the coin toss, opting to bat first might prove to be the wisest choice at this venue. As the match unfolds, the circumstances could grow increasingly challenging for the batting side during the latter stages.
BAN vs IND Head-to-Head Record:
| Matches | Bangladesh | India | No Result |
| 39 | 7 | 31 | 1 |
IND vs BAN Likely Starting Lineups:
Bangladesh (BAN): Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mohammad Naim, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicketkeeper), Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud
India (IND): Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah
Summary:
Star Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav could be the best bowler for India in the side’s upcoming game against Bangladesh. With nine wickets in the Asia Cup 2023 so far, Kuldeep is one of the highest wicket-takers of the tournament, and with sensational performances in his last two games, Kuldeep Yadav could be a threat to Bangladesh.
Anticipated Standout Performers: Probable Premier Batsman KL Rahul (India) – In the forthcoming encounter against Bangladesh, the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman KL Rahul could emerge as the standout performer with the bat. Following a recovery from injury, Rahul delivered a sensational century against Pakistan. He is now driven to amass substantial runs in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, as part of his preparations for the imminent ODI World Cup.
