Watch Bangladesh Vs. Pakistan Asia Cup Cricket Super Four Live Stream: Start Time, Preview of Knockout Match
With one half of the Asia Cup cricket championship final set, with defending champions India already qualified — and coming off a thrilling tie with Afghanistan, per CricInfo — arch-rivals Bangladesh and Pakistan will face off in what has now become a knockout match that will live stream from Abu Dhabi, with the winner gaining the right to face India on Friday for the trophy.
The match will be played on the spin-friendly pitch at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, which could give Bangladesh an edge thanks to the Tigers world class all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who has taken seven wickets in the tournament, five of them in Abu Dhabi, according to CricBuzz.
But Bangladesh may have a slight edge in motivation, as they are certainly craving a third opportunity to knock off another arch -rival, India, who have drubbed the Paksistanis twice already in the tournament, as India’s Free Press Journal reported.
But if Pakistan can overcome Bangladesh, they will get a chance to send India packing in a cricket tournament final for the second straight time, after their shock, one-sided victory over the Men in Blue in last year’s Champions Trophy final in England last year, ESPN recounted.
