Mirpur: Buoyed by their last-over win over arch-foes India, a rejuvenated Pakistan will look to seal a berth in the title clash as they lock horns with beleaguered hosts Bangladesh in their last round-robin Asia Cup match here today.

The top two teams qualify for the summit clash and Pakistan, having collected nine points from three appearances, will go into the match as favourites.
The momentum swung their way after 'boom boom' Shahid Afridi's enterprise laid India low at the Shere Bangla Stadium here on Sunday night.
For the record, Pakistan had lost to Sri Lanka in the tournament opener, before getting their campaign back on track with successive wins over Afghanistan and the big one against India.
Advantage Pak
A win for Pakistan will only make things more difficult for India, provided Sri Lanka lose both their remaining games against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, which seems highly unlikely.
India lost to Pakistan two days after their defeat to Sri Lanka. The Indians won their opener against Bangladesh, and their run-rate stands at -0.027 to Pakistan's +0.438.
