High-flying India (IND) will clash against Bangladesh (BAN) in the last fixture of the Super 4 round of the Asia Cup 2023 at Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium on Friday, September 15. India secured their spot in the Asia Cup 2023 final with a thrilling 41-run win over Sri Lanka which also ended Bangladesh's chances of reaching the final.
Bangladesh lost both of their Super 4 match against Pakistan and Sri Lanka and will target a consolation win against India to walk away with a smile. But the Rohit Sharma-led side will be looking to continue their impressive form in the tournament and will enter the game as favourites with three wins in their last five ODI encounters against the Shakib Al Hasan-led side.
