DOHA: Bangladesh A stunned India A in a thrilling Super Over finish to book their place in the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 final in Doha on Friday. In a match that went right down to the last ball of regulation play, India A ended on 194 for 6 while chasing a 195-run target, forcing the contest into a tie-breaker.
Pacer Ripon Mondol delivered a sensational Super Over, striking twice in his first two deliveries to dismiss both Indian batters and restrict India A to zero — a rare and dramatic collapse under pressure.
Chasing just one run, Bangladesh A still endured a moment of tension when Yasir Ali was caught at long-on off the first ball. But relief followed instantly as bowler Suyash Sharma sent his next delivery down the leg side for a wide to Akbar Ali, handing Bangladesh A the single they needed and sealing their spot in the final.
The gripping win highlighted Bangladesh A’s composure in crunch moments and set up an exciting title clash ahead.
