India National Cricket Team vs Bangladesh National Cricket Team Match Toss Update: Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. India has shown strong form in the tournament and is aiming for its second win in the Super Four stage to strengthen its chances of reaching the final. Bangladesh is looking to repeat its clinical chase against Sri Lanka in its opening Super Four match.
Jaker Ali came out for the toss in the absence of captain Litton Das, who ruled out after an injury during a practice session. Ali confirmed Das is not playing and said the team would prefer to chase. “We would like to bowl first. He (Litton) got injured during a practice session and unfortunately misses out on this crucial game. I am excited and looking forward to this game. We are doing really well as a team and we will try to give our best. We will try to restrict them and chase it down. Surface looks pretty good to bat. We have got four changes,” Ali said.
India skipper Suryakumar Yadav said the team was happy to bat first. “Yes, it looks a good surface. I think we played here on the 14th (vs Pakistan), and in the 2nd innings it became a little slower. So we are very happy to bat first. At the same time, you have to follow what you’ve been doing, all the good things from the last few games. We just want to focus on that, and the result will automatically take care of itself. I think both departments have done their bit, and that’s completely fine. It’s (dropped catches) part of the game. I’m sure the energy and intent will define this match. It's much pleasant (weather). We’re playing the same team,” he said.
