The Asia Cup keeps getting exciting with each passing game. Despite producing three nail-biting finishes in the Super Four, Afghanistan failed to stay alive in the tournament. And with India winning all their clashes in this round, it has come to the last Super Four clash between Bangladesh and Pakistan, which will decide the finalist of the tournament.

In the virtual semi-final at the Sheikh Abu Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, Bangladesh have won the toss and chose to bat first.

While Pakistan will be looking to bounce back after a defeat against India in their last clash, the Tigers will try repeat their heroics in this match to seal a spot in the final.

For Bangladesh, Rubel will return to the side and their ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will not be playing this match.

Pakistan, on the other hand, will play Junaid Khan instead of off-form Mohammad Amir.

 

Bangladesh: Liton Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Shakib Al Hasan, Imrul Kayes, Mahmudullah, Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Mehidy Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Nazmul Islam, Rubel Hossain, Abu Hider Rony, Soumya Sarkar, Mominul Haque, Mosaddek Hossain, Ariful Haque
