After a dominant show in the league phase, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/india-a-smash-pakistan-a-by-eight-wickets-in-colombo-23298954" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">India &lsquo;A&rsquo;</a> will be favourites to seal a spot in the final of the Emerging Asia Cup when they face Bangladesh &lsquo;A&rsquo; in the semi-final here on Friday.
The most refreshing aspect about India&rsquo;s undefeated run so far in the tournament is that they have found multiple heroes in times of need.
India will be hoping for an encore of that all-round show against a tricky and competitive opponent in Bangladesh.
Pacer Harshit Rana (4-41) and captain Yash Dhull (108) were India&rsquo;s star performers against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their tournament opener that they won by eight wickets.
However, that role was taken over by left-arm spinner Nishant Sindhu (4-14) and openers B Sai Sudarshan (58) and Abhishek Sharma (87) against Nepal. India crushed Nepal by nine wickets.

All-rounder Rajvardhan Hangarkekar, who is the top wicket-taker in the tournament with eight wickets, too had chipped in with three wickets in that match. In a keenly anticipated match, India cantered home against Pakistan by 8 wickets. In this match, Manav Suthar and Nikin Jose joined Sai Sudharsan and Hangarkekar as their key players.
Hangarkekar grabbed five wickets (5-42) and Sai Sudharsan (104) slammed a hundred to hog the headlines. But Nikin (53) and left-arm spinner Suthar (3-36) did the support cast job to perfection.
However, Bangladesh are no mere pushovers. After a defeat against Sri Lanka in the tournament opener, Bangladesh showed presence of mind to beat Oman and Afghanistan to reach the last four stage.
