Pakistan will face Bangladesh in the fifth match of the Super Fours in the Asia Cup 2025 on Thursday, September 25, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. With India already securing a spot in the final with consecutive victories, this match will determine who takes the second place and earns the opportunity to challenge India in the Sunday final.
Pakistan enters this game following a win over Sri Lanka, though they were previously defeated by India. Their bowling attack has been in strong form, and it will play a critical role once again. On the other side, Bangladesh comes into this clash after suffering a loss to India. However, they had rested some key players in anticipation of this crucial knockout match. The return of Litton Das and Mahedi Hasan is expected to boost their chances.

Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been favorable for batters in recent matches, with easy scoring during the powerplay and death overs. However, the middle overs have been a challenge for batsmen. Teams chasing have historically had better success here, while bowlers who are inconsistent or make mistakes have been punished. This trend is expected to continue in today’s match.
