Pakistan and Bangladesh will face off in the sixth and final match of Super Four stage and the winner of this match will qualify for the Asia Cup 2018.

Pakistan started their campaign with a win over Hong Kong but against India, in both matches, they looked more like a club side and their bowlers could take only 1 wicket across two games against India. And to beat Bangladesh they have to raise their levels in all three departments of the game.

On the other hand, Bangladesh also has had a similar tournament so far, started with a big win and fell flat against Afghanistan in the group match and then against India in Super Four but their 3 runs victory over Afghanistan in last game will boost their confidence ahead of this big game against Pakistan. The winner of this match will play against India in final on Friday.
