Opener saif hassan

Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy starred with the ball to take five wickets combined as India thrashed Bangladesh by 41 runs to storm into the final of the Men's T20 Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Wednesday.

With India’s win, Sri Lanka are knocked out of the continental tournament. Pakistan and Bangladesh will play a virtual knockout on Thursday to decide the second finalist.

Opener Saif Hassan was the lone warrior for Bangladesh, who top-scored with 69 after getting dropped thrice, twice in an over of Varun Chakravarthy. In the 40s, while playing on the ground, he was dropped by Axar Patel. Later in the next over of Chakravarthy, wicketkeeper Sanju Samson grassed a catch on his own call after Shivam Dubey gave him a second lifeline in the deep square leg.
