Pakistan and Bangladesh will battle it out in the eighth match of Asia Cup 2016 at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, which is a thana in Dhaka. The game is expected to be a close affair and no team is a clear favourite. Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka in their last match and are high on confidence. They would want to take inspiration from their victory and give Pakistan a tough fight and even win the match. Pakistan lost their last game against India, and would therefore like to come back strongly in the tournament. Ideally the team winning the toss may wish to bat first and post a big total on the scoreboard and thereby put pressure on the opposition later on.
