IND vs BAN: India will take on Bangladesh in their third and last Super Fours match of the Asia Cup 2023 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The match will have no impact on the tournament as India are already through to the final and Bangladesh are not in the reckoning after losing both their matches in the second round of the continental showpiece event.
India are very likely going to test their bench strength and give opportunities to Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma Mohammed Shami and Shreyas Iyer, who returned to the nets on Thursday, after missing the Super Fours match against Pakistan and Sri Lanka due to back spasm.

Bangladesh star Mushfiqur Rahim will miss the dead rubber clash as he is back home to spend time with wife and newborn daughter. The side earlier lost in-form Najmul Hossain Shanto to injury. Liton Das is back in the squad but hasn't impressed. The side would aim for a consolation win before heading back home for a 3-match ODI series against New Zealand.
Upbeat India are the red hot favourites to beat Bangladesh in their last Super Fours match on Friday, September 15. Pakistan won their first match at the venue by 228 runs against Pakistan. In the second match in Colombo, they defended 214 against home team Sri Lanka.
India are set to test their bench strength but are still the favourites to beat Bangladesh who are out of the final race after winning just one of their four matches so far. Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim is unavailable for the match as he is back home to spend time with wife and newborn daughter. They also have lost their in-form batter Najmul Hossain Shanto to injury.
While India posted 356/2 against Pakistan, they bundled out Sri Lanka for 172 on Tuesday. India are riding high on confidence and should not face any major problem in beating Bangladesh which is relying heavily once again on Shakib Al Hasan.
