Match Prediction:
In the first match of the Super Fours stage of the 2023 Asia Cup, Pakistan will face Bangladesh at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. After finishing first in Group A with three points, Pakistan enters this match in fine form. In Group B, Bangladesh finished in second position. The following is a preview of this match. The contest in Lahore begins at 14:30 local time.
Pakistan was in a commanding position at the halfway mark against India before the rain began to fall, and they will enter this matchup anticipating another 2023 Asia Cup victory.
Bangladesh has a strong record against Pakistan in this format over the past decade, and after their victory on Sunday, they have many players in excellent form.
Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first before their narrow victory on Tuesday. We anticipate that both captains will elect to field first in the second half of the match due to the expected increase in humidity.
Weather Report:
The daytime temperature in Lahore will be very mild, and the humidity levels will increase by evening. The temperature is expected to be around 37 degrees and there is no chance of precipitation.
Pitch Report:
Batters in Lahore appreciate the consistent velocity and spin of this wicket. A par score is probably between 310 and 320.
Head to Head:
This will be the first ODI match between the two nations since 2019. Pakistan won that match by 94 runs although Bangladesh had won the prior four ODIs between the nations.

Pakistan Preview
In the most recent match against India, Pakistan’s fast bowlers performed admirably and no injuries were reported. Babar Azam has announced the same XI for both of Pakistan’s matches thus far in the Asia Cup 2023, and we anticipate him to do so again for this match.
Pakistan Squad Prediction:
Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh have been shocked by a hamstring injury to Najmul Hossain Shanto, who was in excellent form and scored 104 runs off 105 deliveries on Sunday. Despite a resounding victory over Afghanistan in their final Group B match, Bangladesh have been hampered by the injury. Litton Das, who recently returned from an injury, is anticipated to replace him.
Bangladesh Squad Prediction:
Mohammad Naim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan (c), Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud

Who will win Pakistan vs Bangladesh Super Four 1st Match in Asia Cup 2023
Bangladesh was formidable in their previous match, but they will now face Pakistan, who are playing outstanding ODI cricket right now. We have Pakistan ranked first in front of their home fans.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Prediction:
On Thursday in Lahore, we anticipate a high-scoring match as a result of the Super Fours’ escalation of the competition. Pakistan have been the most outstanding team in the tournament thus far, but Bangladesh looked very formidable in their most recent match. However, Najmul Hossain Shanto’s injury will weaken the Tigers, and we predict that Pakistan will win this match.
