India vs bangladesh: In the Asia Cup 2025, the Bangladesh cricket team has surprised everyone with its performance. After defeating Afghanistan in the group stage, Bangladesh also defeated Sri Lanka in Super-4 and strengthened its claim to reach the finals. But it seems that these two wins have filled the coach of the Bangladeshi team with great confidence and they have come down on the rage. Bangladeshi coach Phil Simmons has claimed that anyone can defeat the Indian team just before the match against Team India, which proved to be the strongest by winning 4 consecutive matches in this tournament so far.

In the Super-4, India and Bangladesh made a strong start and won their opening matches. While Team India crushed Pakistan, Bangladesh shocked Sri Lanka. Now on Wednesday 24 September India and Bangladesh It is a competition with each other and whatever team will win this match, its entry in the finals will be almost confirmed. Looking at the performance and previous records of both the teams so far, Team India is a contender for victory, but the coach of Bangladesh has also expressed his intentions that they will go to Team India strongly.

'Any team can beat India'

But Bangladeshi coach Simmons has expressed his intentions and said such a thing which does not match the performance of India and all other teams. Phil Simmons believes that the Indian team is not such that it could not be defeated. In a press conference a day before the match, the head coach said, "Every team has the ability to defeat India. The match is played in a different day. What India did not matter before. What happens on Wednesday, it matters. What is important in those 3 and a half hours.

Bangladesh could not beat India for 6 years

In order to increase the confidence of his team, it is not wrong to give a strong statement of coach Phil Simmons openly. But in this affair, such claims do not fit at all. Especially when the Bangladeshi team has not defeated India for the last thousands of days. Bangladesh has defeated Team India in a T20 match only once and its victory came on 3 November 2019 2148 days ago.
