Watch Bangladesh Vs. India Asia Cup Cricket Live Stream: Start Time, Preview of Super Four Opening Match

The Bangladesh Tigers will need to overcome fatigue, playing 50-overs cricket matches on back-to-back days in two different cities, when they face Asia Cup defending champions India in the opener of the tournament’s Super Four stage. The Tigers took a drubbing from Afghanistan on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, as ESPN reported. But Bangladesh rested two of their top players against the Afghans, and both are set to return for Friday’s match that will live stream from Dubai.

One of those players will be left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who made his debut in 2015 by taking five wickets in an ODI against India, as The Hindu reported in a profile of the star bowler. But that match was the last time that Bangladesh defeated India in any format of the game.

Wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim will also return to the Bangladesh XI, after his century against Sri Lanka boosted the Tigers to a thoroughgoing 137 run victory, as ESPN CricInfo reported. The performance all but sealed the Tigers’ place in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup.

But Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal broke his left index finger during that match against Sri Lanka, and though he continued batting with the injury, he has now been sidelined for at least six weeks, according to the Dhaka Tribune.
