Dubai Stadium: Sanju Samson’s Performance
- Sanju Samson has had limited opportunity to bat vs Bangladesh in Dubai, with only one recorded innings (on 21 Sep 2025), where he scored 13 runs off 17 balls at a strike rate of ~76.47, dismissed by Haris Rauf.
- Other recent matches (14 Sep, 10 Sep) at Dubai show “did not bat” entries, indicating he didn’t get to play an innings in those games vs Bangladesh or UAE.
Performance Trends & Impact
- Explosive Start in Earlier Matches
In October 2024 (vs Bangladesh), Samson had a breakthrough innings of 111 off 47 balls in Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, showing his capability to play big. The strike rate in that innings (~236) was particularly eye-catching. Other knocks like 29/19 and 10/7 show his aggressive style. - Mixed Results in Dubai
His performance in September 2025 at Dubai vs Bangladesh has been modest (13/17). Perhaps due to fewer balls, different match situation or bowling pressure (Haris Rauf dismissal). It indicates that while he has star potential, converting it regularly in Dubai (vs Bangladesh) might still be a challenge. - Position Consistency
Most of his batting vs Bangladesh in T20Is has been at the top of order (bat posn 1), where he tries to set the tone. At Dubai, he batted in position 5 in his only recent innings vs Bangladesh, which could affect how many balls he faces, and hence his ability to score big. - Match Context
The “did not bat” entries show many games where Samson either did not get the chance—often matches finish before lower-order/batting position 5 comes in—or the match situation didn’t demand it. This means opportunity factor is a key aspect of his batting record in Dubai vs Bangladesh.
Key Takeaways
- Sanju Samson has shown brilliance vs Bangladesh in T20s — especially in earlier matches (Oct 2024), with a huge 111-run knock and high strike rates.
- His recent outings in Dubai have been less impressive, perhaps due to match situations or batting position limitations.
- To cement his impact, he needs more consistent innings in Dubai vs Bangladesh — especially when batting in middle order or when the top order fails.
- His ability to start fast (good strike rate) is a positive. If he gets full batting time, he can deliver big.

Conclusion
Sanju Samson’s record vs Bangladesh is a mix of brilliance and unrealized potential. His 111 off 47 is proof he can take over matches, but recent shows in Dubai remind us opportunity and match context matter. If used well and given time, he can play roles that turn matches, especially in T20Is. Fans and selectors will watch closely if he can translate his raw hitting ability into more consistent contributions—a key ingredient for India in short formats.
