India Vs Bangladesh: Sanju Samson’s Century And 133-Run Win Still Haunts Ahead Asia Cup Clash

India Vs Bangladesh: In October 2024, Sanju Samson’s fireworks stunned Bangladesh. Playing in Hyderabad, Samson scored 111 runs off just 47 balls. His innings included 11 fours and 8 sixes, thrilling fans. Partnering with Suryakumar Yadav, he added 173 runs that set up India’s mammoth score. This match remains one of Samson’s most memorable knocks, showcasing his ability to dominate in T20 cricket. His fearless batting style put Bangladesh completely under pressure from the very beginning.

India’s Batting Was Explosive

Suryakumar Yadav supported Sanju perfectly with a quick 62-run contribution. Together, they punished the bowlers and changed the momentum of the match within a few overs. Later, Hardik Pandya smashed 47 runs while Riyan Parag added 34 in no time. Every Indian batter looked confident and aggressive, ensuring the team reached a massive total. The final score of 297 for 6 in just 20 overs was too high for any team to chase in T20 cricket.

Bangladesh Struggled From The Start

Chasing nearly 300 runs, Bangladesh collapsed under pressure. Parvez was dismissed in the very first over by Mayank Yadav, sending shockwaves through the team. Tanzid Hasan followed soon after, falling for just 15 runs. Captain Nazmul Shanto tried to steady the innings but managed only 14 runs before being dismissed. The batting lineup looked nervous and failed to build partnerships. Bangladesh’s struggle highlighted the gap between the two teams in big tournaments.

Indian Bowlers Sealed The Win

While Sanju’s century grabbed headlines, India’s bowlers also played their part brilliantly. Ravi Bishnoi took three important wickets, breaking the middle order. Mayank Yadav picked up two wickets and proved deadly with his pace. Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy also added one wicket each. Together, they kept Bangladesh restricted to 164 runs in 20 overs. The dominance of both batting and bowling made India’s win look even more convincing.

Lessons For Bangladesh Team

For Bangladesh, this defeat was more than just a loss—it was a reminder of their weak record against India. Out of 17 T20I matches, Bangladesh has beaten India only once. That lone victory came back in 2019. Since then, India has continued to dominate every meeting. To challenge India, Bangladesh must improve both their top-order batting and their bowling discipline. Otherwise, they risk another humiliating defeat in the Asia Cup 2025.

India Remains Unbeaten In 2025

Led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, India has been unbeaten in the current Asia Cup. Their balanced squad, with strong batting depth and versatile bowling options, looks ready for any challenge. Sanju Samson’s form adds extra firepower at the top order. With Hardik Pandya and Riyan Parag finishing well, India’s batting lineup is one of the most dangerous in the tournament. Bangladesh knows the challenge ahead is tougher than ever.

Key Question Ahead Of Clash

As India and Bangladesh prepare for the 16th match of the Asia Cup 2025, fans are asking the same question: can Bangladesh bounce back from last year’s 133-run defeat? Sanju Samson’s century still looms large in their memory. If Bangladesh wants to change history, their batsmen must play fearlessly, and their bowlers must stay disciplined. Otherwise, India may once again script another one-sided win on the big stage.
