Doha [Qatar], November 21 (ANI): A solid half-century from Bangladesh A opener Habibur Rahman Sohan and a late-innings rampage from SM Meherob helped the team post a competitive total against India A in the first semi-final of the ACC Men's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Qatar on Friday.

Bangladesh A scored 194-6 in 20 overs to set a massive target of 195 for the Jitesh Sharma-led India A.

Opting to field first after winning the toss, India A struggled initially to contain the aggressive Bangladesh top order. Habibur Rahman was the aggressor from the outset, stitching together a crucial 43-run partnership with Jishan Alam (15).

The duo ensured Bangladesh finished the powerplay at 49-1, maintaining a run rate well above nine runs an over.
