Check out our prediction for the PAK vs BAN Match 5, Super 4s, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
Pakistan has played decent cricket in the competition so far, but hasn’t gone past team India on the two occasions they got so far. If they manage to get past Bangladesh in this virtual semifinal, they will be squaring off against their archrivals for the third time, and it would be interesting to see if they get third time lucky.
For now, Salman Ali Agha and his man should focus on this game. Bangladesh has had a better impact in the Asia Cup 2025 compared to their nemesis. They have defeated teams like Afghanistan and Sri Lanka to make it to this juncture. Therefore, Pakistan shouldn’t take them lightly; instead, they should have redemption on their mind for their first-ever T20 series defeat to them. The stage is set for an epic showdown; a cutthroat competition awaits us this Thursday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Despite not playing with their best possible eleven in the game against India, Bangladesh should be proud of the way they put things together and displayed character. The likes of Litton Das and Taskin Ahmed missed the last game owing to injury and workload management, respectively. However, the team turned up with a great effort under the leadership of Jaker Ali, and this is something they should take forward, heading into this virtual semifinal.
Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in a home series 2 months before this competition. That was their first-ever T20I series win over Pakistan. Having defeated Pakistan back then, Bangladesh should look forward to repeating the feat in this crucial encounter. Litton Das might return to lead the side again, and so might Taskin Ahmed. The team will be with two of the mainstays to counter Pakistan. Expect both teams to go at each other with everything at stake. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

Toss Prediction
With dew expected to influence the second innings, both captains will likely opt to bowl first if they win the toss. Dubai’s chasing advantage under lights has been consistent, especially in T20s. Expect Pakistan and Bangladesh to back their bowlers early and rely on their batting depth to chase effectively.

The 2-time Asia Cup winners, Pakistan, should start as favorites in this encounter. Yes, they have lost twice to India, but other than those two losses, Pakistan has played pretty well and should tame Bangladesh, who doesn’t carry the reputation of being big match winners. Therefore, as per our prediction, Pakistan is expected to win the PAK vs BAN 5th match of the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2025.
