The highly anticipated Pakistan vs Bangladesh Asia Cup match will take place on Thursday, September 25, 2025, as the two teams clash in the second-to-last Super Four match of the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup. The winner earns a spot in the grand final against India on Sunday. Both teams defeated Sri Lanka but lost to India in earlier Super Four matches.
India has secured their place in the Asia Cup 2025 final, while Sri Lanka has been eliminated. Friday’s India-Sri Lanka match is inconsequential for the standings. A Pakistan victory would create a historic first, as Pakistan and India have never met in an Asia Cup final, despite both teams reaching the final multiple times.
