Asia Cup 2025 IND vs Ban: Phil Simmons' statement from Bangladesh coach, said-every team has the ability to defeat India

Cricket News Desk. Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons believes that India is not invincible and what Surryakumar Yadav -Led team has reached in the last four games will have no significance against the current world champion in the Asia Cup Super 4 match on Wednesday. Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka in the first game of the Super 4 phase and it greatly increased the confidence of the team. After defeating Pakistan, the Indian team accepts Bangladesh on Wednesday. Simmons, who played for the West Indies from 1987 to 1999, was asked if it is possible to defeat this Indian team? Simmons said: “Every team has the ability to defeat this Indian team. What happened before the game. It doesn’t matter. What happens on Wednesday, it matters. It’s a matter of three and a half hours of play. We’ll try to perform our best and hope we’ll find out the weaknesses of India. We’ll win the game too.” The 62 -year -old former player said he understood the atmosphere of any game in India and wanted his players to accept the challenge and enjoy that moment. He said: “Every game has a special adventure, especially in India’s game, because they are the world’s biggest T20 team. We will just enjoy the adventure.” Simmons is of the opinion that the pitch of the Dubai International Cricket Stage (Dics) is really good to bat and that the throw will not be a big problem in the match. “I haven’t seen a very difference in wickets in 40 overs yet. I think it’s one of the best wickets I’ve seen in the recent past. I think it was the same in the previous game (India vs Pakistan). ‘ The Bangladesh coach said: “The wicket was ideal to bat. The bowlers had to bowl accurately. I don’t think the throw will have a special effect.” Simmons said playing cricket in Dubai and Abu Dhabi was physically challenging in the heat of September. Former players in the West Indies who played 26 Tests and 143 ODIs said: “I think players are fit enough to play consecutive matches. But playing constantly T20 matches is a challenge for any team. It’s harder than people’s thinking.” Share this story -tags
