Date: 25 September 2025 | Time: 8:00 PM IST
Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, UAE
Overview
The Asia Cup 2025 Super Four reaches its boiling point as Pakistan face Bangladesh in a virtual semifinal at Dubai. With India already in the final, the winner tonight will book a place in Sunday’s marquee title clash. Both teams have endured highs and lows in the last week and must bring their best cricket to survive[web:101][web:105][web:106].
Team Form & Key Stats
Pakistan bounced back with a comeback win over Sri Lanka after losing to India, with their bowling attack once again starring. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have led the way, while Hussain Talat and Mohammad Nawaz stabilized the batting order. Captain Salman Ali Agha has hinted at minimal changes for the crunch game[web:105][web:111].
Bangladesh, skippered by Jaker Ali in the absence of Litton Das, have had mixed results. After a heavy defeat by India, standouts Saif Hassan and Towhid Hridoy will be heavily relied on with the bat. Their bowling attack, featuring Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam, performed admirably in restricting India’s scoring last match[web:111][web:114].
Key Players to Watch
Pakistan will count on Shaheen Afridi’s opening spell, Salman Ali’s stability, and the middle order’s experience under pressure. Bangladesh’s bright spot has been Saif Hassan, who is in top form, and Mustafizur’s ability to strike in the death overs. All-rounder Mahedi Hasan is expected to return and provide balance between bat and ball[web:111][web:105].

Matchup & Tactical Preview
Dubai’s surface presents batters and bowlers a fair contest, but middle overs remain tricky. Both sides will favor chasing. Pakistan’s bowlers need discipline to contain Bangladesh’s new-look lineup.
