Team India eye victory against Bangladesh in the Super Four’s of the Asia Cup
Date and Time : 5:00 PM IST
Venue : Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai
India after their two successive victories in the 2018 Asia Cup group stage will be looking to continue the winning run on Friday. India outplayed Pakistan on Wednesday and will be pretty confident for the upcoming games.
Team India will play Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the Super Four’s. India should reach the final but will need to avoid complacency against the new up and coming teams like Afghanistan.
In Bangladesh they have got opponents that are manageable and India should make the most of the opportunity.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will be looking to cause an upset. They have doe it in the past and will take inspiration from that.
They just lost to Afghanistan yesterday and will be a bit disappointed but did beat Sri Lanka well and should give their all in the Super Four’s and hope for the best.
Team news and possible line-ups
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mustafizur Rahman are both available for Bangladesh for the India game and will likely replace Abu Hider Rony and Mominul Haque.
