India A crashed out of the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 after losing to Bangladesh A in the first semi-final at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on Friday, November 21, 2025. With the scores tied at the end of 20 overs, the Bengal Tigers edged in a nervy Super Over.
Chasing a target of 195, India A managed to tie the scores in dramatic fashion in the final ball. Captain Akbar Ali missed an easy run-out chance that gave the batters a chance to run for three, allowing them to force the match to the Super Over.
However, India A absolutely crumbled, as both Jitesh Sharma and Ashutosh Sharma were dismissed for ducks by Ripon Mondol. Despite Suyash Sharma dismissing Yasir Ali with the first ball, a wide gave Bangladesh A a nervy win.

BAN-A’s innings was picked up by a late flurry from SM Mehereb, who posted an unbeaten 48-run knock off just 18 balls, hitting one boundary and six sixes.
India A’s chase began well as Vaibhav Suryavanshi (38 off 15) and Priyansh Arya (44 off 23) posted a 53-run partnership. Regular wickets, however, kept India A on the edge.
Jitesh Sharma (33 off 23) and Nehal Wadhera (32 not out off 29) took the match to the last over, but Ripon helped the Bengal Tigers steal the match, marking only the second zero-run Super Over in men’s T20I history.
