New Delhi: Bangladesh is all set to face India in the Asia Cup 2025 Super four clash.  Spinner Sheikh Mahedi Hasan stated that the team is neither intimidated by the opposition nor the high-pressure occasion. Not after winning a match. From the start we stay normal. The way we are the way our body language is — we arent overthinking Mahedi said. Were just going out there to play a cricket match. Whether the opponent is India or Australia thats not our concern. Bangladesh kicked off their Super Four campaign with a blast Bangladesh kicked off their Super Four campaign with a blast as they secured four-wicket victory over defending champions Sri Lanka snapping their eight-match winning streak in T20 Asia Cups. Now they will take on Suryakumar Yadav-led India who have looked formidable on paper and have sailed through the tournament so far. India hold a dominant record over Bangladesh in T20Is. In 17 encounters between the two teams India have emerged victorious 16 times winning every match in multi-nation tournaments. Bangladeshs sole T20I win against India came during a bilateral series in 2019. Mahedi feels that past results have little bearing Despite the one-sided record Mahedi feels that past results have little bearing on the current situation It depends on the match situation. Everything comes down to the match situation he said suggesting that belief can only be measured in real-time conditions. Indias squad features stars like Suryakumar Yadav Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya who possess strength in both batting and pace bowling. Their deep bench and experience in winning matches make them favorites on paper. Yet the slow Dubai pitches and Bangladesh’s effective spin attack could balance the contest. Mahedi and Nasums spin partnership is capable of targeting Indias weakness Mahedi and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed  will try to create a spin partnership capable of targeting Indias occasional weakness against top-quality spin on turning pitches. Fans on social media are buzzing with David vs Goliath battle Mahedi called for calm and focus within the team Were not thinking about that. Thats created by you (the media) or by the fans he said. Well just play the way weve been playing every international match — normally. As the Super Four stage intensifies both teams understand the stakes of this match. A victory for India would strengthen their chances of reaching the final while another upset by Bangladesh could shake up the group and further cement their reputation as giant-killers in Asian cricket.
