Both Pakistan and Bangladesh have lost both the matches in Asia Cup and thus are out of the tournament. In the fifth Asia Cup match both the teams will play for the pride in the tournament and they will be looking for first win in the Asia Cup.
In both the previous matches, Pakistan cricketers have displayed a well bowling performance. They only need to improve their batting performance in the match against Bangladesh if they wish to win the match.
