The Asia Cup 2025 intensity rises in Group B as Bangladesh face Afghanistan in a virtual do-or-die encounter tonight. For Litton Das and his side, defeat would mean an early exit, while Afghanistan look to strengthen their grip on the group after a confident start.
Bangladesh began their campaign with promise against Hong Kong but stumbled badly in their clash with Sri Lanka, where their batting frailties resurfaced. A rare resistance from Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain gave their innings some shape, but the team’s reliance on skipper Litton Das at the top remains glaring. The likes of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy need to rise quickly if Bangladesh are to mount a serious fight.
Their biggest hurdle comes in the form of Afghanistan’s formidable spin battery. Rashid Khan will spearhead an attack supported by Mohammad Nabi, the sharp Noor Ahmad, and emerging talent AM Ghazanfar. With openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran in steady form, and Najibullah Zadran offering big-hitting muscle, Afghanistan have both balance and momentum on their side, leaving Bangladesh to chase resilience and belief to stay alive.
