The Asia Cup 2025 has seen India qualify for the Super 4 stage from Group A with two wins. Group B, however, is now in a state of high drama. Afghanistan, which began the tournament with a convincing victory, lost to Bangladesh in their most recent match. This win kept Bangladesh’s hopes of reaching the Super 4 alive as they played their final group stage match, while Afghanistan’s fate now depends on their final match.
The match held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, September 16, had Afghanistan as the expected victor. After Bangladesh’s substantial loss to Sri Lanka in the previous match, it looked like Litton Das’s team’s journey would end in the group stage. Yet, that was not the case, and with the strong performances of certain players, Bangladesh won the match by 8 runs, subsequently improving their position on the points table.
