Asia Cup 2023 India vs Bangladesh : In the Super-4 clash of the Asia Cup 2023, Bangladesh emerged victorious against Team India in Asia Cup 2023, securing a thrilling win by a margin of six runs. Despite an impressive century by Shubman Gill and a valiant effort by Akshar Patel, Team India could not pull off the victory.
This defeat marked India’s first setback in the tournament leading up to the final match. Bangladesh’s bowlers put up a formidable performance, restricting Team India to a total of just 259 runs in pursuit of the 266-run target.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma opted to bowl first after winning the toss, and the team made several changes, resting key players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Hardik Pandya, and Kuldeep Yadav in Asia Cup 2023. In their place, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav, Prishan Krishna, Shardul Thakur, and Mohammed Shami were included in Asia Cup 2023.
Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 265 runs for the loss of eight wickets, thanks to valuable contributions from Nasum Ahmed, Mehdi Hasan, and Tanzim in the lower order, following captain Shakib Al Hasan and Tauheed Hriday’s solid half-centuries. Shardul Thakur was India’s top wicket-taker, claiming three crucial scalps.

However, India’s batting innings got off to a shaky start, with captain Rohit Sharma falling early. Tanzim, the young fast bowler, was responsible for his dismissal. In the third over, Tanzim also dismissed debutant Tilak Verma.
KL Rahul and Shubman Gill tried to stabilize the innings, but Rahul’s departure and Ishan Kishan’s quick exit added to India’s woes. As a result, by the 24th over, four batsmen were back in the pavilion, with the team’s score at a mere 94 runs.
Shubman Gill, though, played a brilliant innings and managed to reach his century, guiding the team past the 100-run mark. Suryakumar Yadav had a promising start but was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan while attempting an unnecessary sweep shot.
With wickets falling consistently, the team’s position became precarious at 170 for 6. Nevertheless, Shubman Gill stood firm and completed his fifth ODI century.
