In the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match in Dubai, Pakistan and Bangladesh face off against one another.

Pitch Report:
Recent games in the ongoing continental competition have been played in a batter-friendly atmosphere at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Batters have found it easier to play freely during the powerplay and the death overs, but scoring in the final overs has been difficult. The teams pursuing here should find the pitch more helpful. Inconsistent bowlers or those who produce bad balls have been disciplined, and the upcoming match is predicted to follow suit.
