India’s next Asia Cup Super 4 hurdle comes in the form of Bangladesh tonight, a side they have historically dominated in T20Is with 16 wins in 17 meetings. BAN skipper Jaker Ali won the toss and decided to bowl first against India on the night.
But despite the lopsided stats, this rivalry has carried a needle ever since the 2015 ODI World Cup and the infamous “Rohit Sharma reprieve” at the MCG.
India enter buoyant after overpowering Pakistan. Abhishek Sharma’s blazing form (SR 210) and Shubman Gill’s resurgence (SR 158) make them a fearsome opening pair. In comparison, Bangladesh’s leading batters Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy strike in the 120s—far less threatening in modern T20 cricket.

For Bangladesh, the match hinges on restricting India. Mustafizur Rahman’s IPL-honed skills at the death and the spin pair of Rishad Hossain and Mahedi Hasan could trouble India, especially with Tilak Varma showing clear struggles against spin this year.
But how do their head-to-head stats in T20Is look, and how does each match pan out? Take a look.
