Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das suffered a back strain during practice at the ICC Academy in Dubai on Monday, raising concerns ahead of the Tigers’ clash against India.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das heaped praises on Saif Hassan and others after his side clinched a four-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the opening Super Four match in the Asia Cup at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday.

Chasing 169, the Tigers reached the target in 19.5 overs

Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim had just appeared in the post-match press conference after playing a match-winning knock of 52 off 31 balls in the Tigers' narrow eight-run victory against Afghanistan in an Asia Cup Group B encounter in Abu Dhabi yesterday. When asked about the qualification scenario, he replied with a smile: "The game just ended. Haven’t looked yet, will have to check.”

Bangladesh captain Litton Das said that lacklustre batting in the Powerplay cost his side their Group B Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das was glad to begin the team’s campaign in the Asia Cup with a comfortable seven-wicket win over Hong Kong in their Group B match in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.

T20I skipper Litton Das became the second-highest run-getter in T20Is for Bangladesh during the Tigers’ first Asia Cup game, against Hong Kong, at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi today. 

Skipper Litton Das notched up his 15th T20I half-century to guide the Tigers to a convincing seven-wicket win over Hong Kong in their Asia Cup opener at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. 

During Bangladesh’s two practice sessions in Abu Dhabi ahead of their Asia Cup 2025 opener against Hong Kong today, the focus was noticeably on big-hitting. That’s hardly unusual ahead of a T20 tournament.

Bangladesh are set to begin their Asia Cup campaign against Associate Nation Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi today. The Litton Das-led side enter the continental tournament on the back of a decent run of form, but even during Tuesday’s practice session, some familiar issues resurfaced.

Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das has dismissed any talk of past scars ahead of their Asia Cup T20 opener against Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, insisting his side are fully focused on starting their campaign with a win.

On the surface, Bangladesh carry momentum into the Asia Cup in UAE.

The weight of captaincy in any sport compounds exponentially under the bright lights of a major tournament. On top of that, if the captain has not experienced the pressure of leading in that event before, it should put them at an even bigger disadvantage.

For years, the Tigers' T20 story has been one of cautious cricket and squandered chances.

The Bangladesh team is scheduled to leave for the UAE in two groups today to take part in the upcoming Asia Cup, which runs from September 9-28.

For the record book, Bangladesh captain Litton Das' fiifty against the Netherlands in the dead-rubber third T20I in Sylhet yesterday holds some significance. With it, the wicketkeeper-batter overtook Shakib Al Hasan for the most fifties, 14, in the format for the Tigers.

Bangladesh’s final T20I of the three-match series against the Netherlands in Sylhet was abandoned due to rain on Tuesday, denying the Tigers a chance to complete a clean sweep. But captain Litton Das remained upbeat, stressing that both his own form and the team’s collective performances have set Bangladesh up well for the Asia Cup beginning September 9 in the UAE.

Litton Das scored his 14th T20I half-century to surpass Shakib Al Hasan for most fifties by a Bangladesh player during the third and final T20I of the three-match series in Sylhet on Wednesday. 

When it comes to guessing which side of a tossed coin will come up on top, Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das' track record isn't too great.

Bangladesh need 104 runs to win.
