PAK vs BAN Asia Cup 2023: Head-to-head record of Pakistan vs Bangladesh, pitch report, weather update & more

PAK vs BAN Asia Cup 2023: The Asia Cup tournament has entered the Super Fourstage, with four out of six teams qualifying for it - Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka. The first match of this stage will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday (Sep 6).

Pakistan started the tournament with a 238-run win over Nepal in their opening match. Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed scored centuries against the debutants before Shadab Khan spun a web around the opposition with four wickets. In their second encounter, they faced India but couldn’t chase India’s 267-run target due to incessant rains that forced the match to be called off.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, started their campaign with a dismal batting performance against Sri Lanka as they were bowled out for 164. Shakib al Hasan tried his best to make the Sri Lankan batters work hard for their runs but the Tigers eventually suffered a five-wicket defeat. In their second fixture, they defeated Afghanistan as they failed to chase the daunting target of 335 runs.
