In an unexpected move, Pakistan’s cricket team has revealed its playing XI a day ahead of their Asia Cup Super Four opener against Bangladesh. The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place on September 6, 2023, at Lahore’s iconic Gaddafi Stadium.
The lineup announced by Pakistan shows only one change from their previous match against India. Fast bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf has been included in the playing XI, replacing spin bowling all-rounder Mohammed Nawaz. This decision reflects Pakistan’s confidence in their team selection and strategy.
Pakistan advanced to the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup by securing a commanding 238-run victory against Nepal in their previous match. Additionally, their match against India ended in a draw due to rain, further highlighting their strong performance in the tournament.
On the other hand, Bangladesh earned their place in the Super Four by defeating Afghanistan in their second group stage match, following a loss to Sri Lanka in their opening game. The clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams vie for supremacy in the Asia Cup.
