Dubai, September 25, 2025 – Pakistan and Bangladesh are set for a high-stakes showdown in the super four stage of Asia Cup 2025. The crucial encounter at Dubai International Stadium will start at 19:30 Pakistan Standard Time, with both teams fighting for survival and a spot in the final.
Pakistan currently sit second on the points table with one win and one loss, making this match a must-win if they want to strengthen their chances of reaching the final. Bangladesh, meanwhile, began their campaign with a strong victory over Sri Lanka and know that only a win against Pakistan will keep their title hopes alive.
For Pakistan, the journey so far has been unpredictable. After a disappointing loss to India, they found form against Sri Lanka thanks to the fiery pace attack of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Pakistan’s Powerplay bowling looked sharp for the first time, while Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan provided solid starts with the bat. However, Pakistan’s middle order remains inconsistent, and their vulnerability against spin could be exploited by Bangladesh’s spin duo, Rishad Hossain and Nasum Ahmed.
Bangladesh will rely on their pacers, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, to challenge Pakistan’s batting, while Litton Das and Tawhid Hridoy aim to anchor the innings. Historically, Pakistan have dominated the rivalry, holding a 20-5 overall record, including 4-2 wins over Bangladesh this year.
With pride, desperation, and determination on the line, the Pakistan vs Bangladesh clash promises a thrilling spectacle for cricket fans at Dubai International Stadium.
