Abu Dhabi: The Asia Cup 2025 is heating up, and tonight’s Bangladesh vs Afghanistan showdown could be a real nail-biter. Match 9 of the tournament will be played at the iconic Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday, September 16, at 8:00 PM IST. With Group B points and Super Four qualification on the line, this clash promises high drama.
Bangladesh: Fighting to Stay Alive
Bangladesh have had a mixed tournament so far. They started strong with a seven-wicket win over Hong Kong, thanks to Litton Das’s classy 59 off 39 balls. But their momentum dipped after a six-wicket loss to Sri Lanka, where Hasaranga’s spin and Nissanka’s 50 proved too much to handle.
Now sitting third in Group B, the Tigers absolutely need a win to stay in the hunt. Anything less, and their Asia Cup journey could end tonight.
