Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 LIVE Scorecard©AFP
PAK vs BAN Asia Live Cricket Score: Bangladesh are two wickets down against Pakistan in their Asia Cup Super Four match at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Earlier, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan chose to bat. With Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, Pakistan has a tempo attack that can wreak havoc on any batting line-up in the world. With home advantage on their side, the Babar Azam-led side hoped to clinch a victory before facing India and Sri Lanka in Colombo. Bangladesh, on the other hand, would like to draw inspiration from their victory over Afghanistan last week at the same location. (Live scorecard)

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live: This is what the captains said!
Shakib: “If we put points on the board, it will put pressure. We want to replicate what we did against Afghanistan, but we are facing the number 1 team in the world, so we have to give our best. We know what their strengths and weaknesses are. We have to face those challenges, but we are ready for those challenges. Litton replaces Shanto.”
Babar: “We would have batted too. But there’s a bit of grass on the field, so we want to use that. We plan to take care of all the fast bowlers. We’re playing in the heat. Honestly, I’m looking forward to the game. We’ll try to break the record but will try to win the game. Last night we saw the conditions helping fast bowlers so we’re thinking about adding a fast bowler. Sometimes it helps at night and in the first innings the fast bowlers.’
