Bangladesh suffered a thumping 41-run defeat against India in their second Super Four game, as Abhishek Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav led the favourites to the final of the Asia Cup. Bangladesh will take on Pakistan on Thursday in a must-win tie in a bid to advance to the final. The tide began to turn in the ninth over when leg-spinner Rishad dismissed Gill and Shivam Dube in quick succession. With Yadav’s wicket, Mustafizur became the top T20I wicket-taker for Bangladesh with 150 scalps, past Shakib Al Hasan’s 149. For Bangladesh, Rishad was the standout with two wickets and a decisive run-out, while Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowled superbly apart from a costly final over.
