Predicting BAN’s Playing XI for the 4th Super Fours Match against IND in T20 Asia Cup 2025

The 16th Super Fours match of the T20 Asia Cup 2025 is going to be a tantalizing match, Bangladesh and India. Bangladesh just crossed the line by a single ball – a one-ball win over Sri Lanka (while chasing down 169). They are riding a wave of enthusiasm. Their batting effort flagged, but they have the cool mind with extra firepower in their attack. And the bowling unit was able to get timely breakthroughs each time they needed to ignite the squeeze. Bangladesh would need every effort in all aspects of their game if they were to have any opportunity to contest the final against India’s team, which boasts talent and experience in every position.

Openers 

Saif Hassan has been very good, and his 61 off 45 balls against Sri Lanka proved that they are capable of taking charge of the innings. Saif had a very strong strike rate of 135.55 in the match and also took 2 important catches in the field. They are providing the aggression and athleticism up top that is essential. Saif loves to get off to fast starts and has been specifically strong against spin, an important contributor in alleviating the challenge of India’s spin-dominated bowling attack. Tanzid Hasan, while a duck in the last match, is also the ideal foil with his strike rotation and ability to create partnerships. 

Middle Order 

Litton Das has been a key member of Bangladesh’s middle order. Das contributed 23 runs off 16 balls against Sri Lanka, steadying the innings at a reasonable strike rate of 143.75. With Das steadying the ship, Hridoy confidently executed a match-winning performance with 58 runs off 37 balls. Hridoy’s ability to clear the fence at the end of innings can turn a match in a hurry, and combined with Litton Das, the middle order provides a steadying presence and explosive energy. 

All-Rounders

Mahedi Hasan is still Bangladesh’s star all-rounder. He proved his effectiveness with the ball against Sri Lanka with two wickets in four overs with an economy rate of 6.25. His lower-order batting also provides depth. Shamim Hossain provides balance as he can score quickly and even bowl if needed. Their two-way capabilities give Bangladesh the freedom to adjust the lineup depending on the match conditions against a strong Indian team.

Bowlers

Mustafizur Rahman was the best bowler against Sri Lanka, taking three wickets for 20 runs in four overs. His cutters and variations can confuse even the best Indian batters – he is very strong at the death. Taskin Ahmed may not have the headlining performance, but he can bowl at a high pace and generate bounce off the Dubai pitch; he pairs very well with Mustafizur. Collectively, the two form a strong bowling attack that can take early wickets and keep the scoring rate in check.

Saif Hassan, Towhid Hridoy, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mahedi Hasan, in particular, are match winners, and if they combine in the community, Bangladesh will have a good chance of pulling off another nail-biting victory in the Super Fours.
