IND vs BAN face off with Asia Cup final spot on the line
A win for India will knock Sri Lanka out of the competition. India have hardly put a foot wrong in the competition so far, with two clinical wins over Pakistan alongside success against UAE and Oman. Abhishek Sharma has set the tournament on fire with his exploits, while Tilak Varma, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson have all chipped in with runs.
While Jasprit Bumrah has been off-colour, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy have put the brakes on the opposition. Shivam Dube has emerged as a geniune wicket-taking option, ticking India along.
Bangladesh will have their tails up having defeated Sri Lanka in their first Super 4s game. The Bangla Tigers have the bowling attack to make the most of slowish conditions in Dubai. In Mustafizur Rahman and Mahedi Hasan, India face formidable opposition and a potential for upset. Bangladesh have won only 1 of their 17 T20Is against India, but will be upbeat on causing an upset.
