Asia Cup 2025: Super Four, Pakistan vs Bangladesh Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Pakistan will take on Bangladesh in the fifth match of the Super Fours stage of the Asia Cup 2025 on Thursday, September 25, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. With India already sealing their place in the final after back-to-back wins, the winner of this clash will book the second spot to challenge them in Sunday’s title match.

Pakistan entered the contest on the back of a win against Sri Lanka, following their earlier loss to India. Their bowling attack looked in top rhythm and will be important once again. On the other hand, Bangladesh suffered a setback against India but had rested a few first-choice players as they eyed this knockout clash. Litton Das and Mahedi Hasan’s expected return could strengthen their chances.

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been a batter-friendly venue in recent matches of the ongoing continental competition. While scoring in the middle overs has been challenging, batters have found it easier to play freely during the powerplay and the death overs. The pitch is expected to be more assistive for the teams chasing here. Bowlers who are inconsistent or deliver poor balls have been punished, and a similar trend is expected in the upcoming clash.

Bangladesh's opener Saif Hassan has been in stunning form in the tournament so far. Holding the second spot in the list of highest run-getters in the Asia Cup 2025, having amassed 160 runs from three matches at an average of 53.33 and a strike rate of 129.03. Hasan is coming off back-to-back fifties and would like to continue his purple patch in the must-win clash.

Bangladesh's left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman could be the bowler to watch out for in the match against Pakistan. In five innings, Rahman has bagged eight wickets at an average of 17.25 and has an economy rate of 7.26. The Men in Green will have to be cautious of Rahman's four-over spell.
