BAN vs PAK U19 Semi Final Live: The stage is set for a thrilling clash between Bangladesh and Pakistan in the semi-final of the U-19 Asia Cup 2025 at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai. Bangladesh have shown remarkable consistency in the tournament, finishing top of Group B with three wins from three matches, making them strong contenders for a third title.
Pakistan secured their spot in the semi-final by finishing second in Group A, having suffered a setback against India. Despite the loss, the young Pakistani side showed enough skill and determination to advance to the knockout stage, setting up a high-stakes contest against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh are looking to continue their dominance in the U-19 Asia Cup, having already lifted the trophy twice in 2023 and 2024. Pakistan, meanwhile, have won the tournament once in 2012, giving them motivation to repeat history and challenge the current champions.
In the other semi-final, India will face Sri Lanka, promising another exciting battle as the tournament moves closer to its grand finale.
The Bangladesh vs Pakistan clash is expected to be highly competitive, with both teams aiming to secure a place in the final.
In their final Group B match at Dubai’s ICC Academy Ground No. 2, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by 39 runs. Batting first, Bangladesh posted 225 in 46.3 overs. Sri Lanka struggled to chase the target and were bowled out for just 186, handing Bangladesh a comfortable victory.
Pakistan U19, captained by Farhan Yousaf, registered a convincing 70-run win over UAE in their final group-stage match at the ICC Academy Ground. After scoring 241 runs, the Shaheens bowled UAE out for 171 in 37.5 overs.
The umpires are checking the bowlers’ run-up, where a few damp patches remain. Player safety is the main concern before any decision is made to start play.
If the semi-final is completely washed out due to rain and no result is possible, Bangladesh U-19 will automatically qualify for the final. Tournament rules state that the team with the higher group-stage ranking advances if a knockout match is abandoned. This means Pakistan U-19 will be knocked out of the tournament without getting a chance to compete, as they finished second in their group. There is no reserve day scheduled for the match, making the washout scenario even more critical.
Bangladesh U19: Zawad Abrar, MD Rifat Beg, Md Azizul Hakim Tamim (c), Kalam Siddiki Aleen, Md Rizan Hossan, Shahria Al-Amin, Md Farid Hasan Faysal (wk), Shahriar Ahmed, Md Samiun Basir Ratul, Saad Islam Razin, Iqbal Hossain Emon, Sheikh Parvez Jibon, Shadhin Islam, Md Sobuj, Md Abdullah
Pakistan U19: Sameer Minhas, Usman Khan, Ali Hassan Baloch, Ahmed Hussain, Farhan Yousaf (c), Huzaifa Ahsan, Hamza Zahoor (wk), Momin Qamar, Abdul Subhan, Ali Raza, Mohammad Sayyam, Mohammed Huzaifa, Daniyal Ali Khan, Mohammad Shayan, Niqab Shafiq
Just like India vs Sri Lanka, toss for the Bangladesh vs Pakistan U19 Asia Cup match has been delayed too because of rain in Dubai at the Sevens Stadium.
