The match is a virtual semifinal for both teams. Both teams have their fate in their own hands and will book a place in the final with a win. While the winner of the match will face reigning champions India in the final, the loser will exit the competition.
Bangladesh are coming into this match after suffering a 41-run defeat against India in their last outing. After a fantastic win over Sri Lanka in their first Super 4s match, the Bangla Tigers failed to sustain the winning momentum against India.
They did well to restrict the Men in Blue to 168/6 after Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill gave the champions a flying start; they could not do well with the bat. Even though opener Saif Hassan scored a fine fifty, Bangladesh were all out for just 127 runs.

They will look to bounce back and beat Pakistan for a place in the final. Bangladesh will take confidence from their 2-1 series win over Pakistan earlier this year.
On the other hand, Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by five wickets in their last match. Chasing a modest total of 134 runs, Pakistan were in deep trouble after being reduced to 80/5.
However, an unbeaten 58-run stand between Mohammad Nawaz and Hussain Talat eventually powered them to a comfortable win. Pakistan have struggled to find their rhythm in the ongoing tournament but will look to capitalise on the winning momentum.
Pakistan have dominated the T20I rivalry against Bangladesh so far. Out of the 25 matches between the two teams so far, Pakistan have won 20 while Bangladesh have won 5.
