Bangladesh are yet to win the Asia Cup despite coming close on numerous occasions. They are now trying to build a new T20I strategy where they are trying to be more aggressive with the bat, something which the Bangla Tigers have lacked over the years.

Litton Das is one name who has shown over the years that he can take the game away from the opposition. However, Bangladesh need other players to step up in the Asia Cup and attack opposition teams if they want to overcome other teams.

Thus, in this article, we will look at the three Bangladesh players who can attack according to modern standards in the upcoming Asia Cup.

1. Tanzid Hasan

Tanzid Hasan, the left-handed batter, has been opening regularly for Bangladesh in recent times. He has shown glimpses of his talent and has a strike rate close to 130, which is quite decent for a Bangladesh batter.

Also, he has shown the talent to hit effortless sixes and has so far smashed 34 maximums in 31 innings. The cricketer also has shown great form in T20Is in 2025 since his comeback, and as shown in the table, the strike rate and average are pretty good. Thus, if he can fire in the Powerplay, it would help Bangladesh get an edge over their opponents in the Asia Cup.

Also, as shown in the table, he has a good record in BPL, and if he can replicate that in the Asia Cup, he could be a dangerous prospect.

3. Jaker Ali

Jaker Ali is another batter who can play a finisher role for Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2025. Despite scoring just 591 runs in his T20I career so far, the cricketer has hit 38 sixes, and it is the kind of skills Bangladesh would need in the Asia Cup.
