The Rohit Sharma-led side will take on Sri Lanka in the final, but before that, the team will be tempted to test their fringe players. The workload management of players, especially bowlers will be in focus, ahead of Sunday's summit clash. Meanwhile, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan also hinted that his team could rest big names, with the upcoming New Zealand series and World Cup in mind. Mohammed Shami could feature in the dead rubber, with Jasprit Bumrah likely to be rested.
Hosts Pakistan take on Bangladesh in a crucial Asia Cup Super Four fixture at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan sealed a place in the Super Four after topping Group A with four points in two matches.

Bangladesh has been hit hard by injuries in their ongoing Asia Cup campaign with Najmul Hossain Shanto being ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with a hamstring problem. As per the country's cricket board - BCB, he will return to Bangladesh immediately and work on his rehabilitation ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup, set to begin in India next month. Premier wicketkeeper batter Litton Das, who was initially ruled out of the tournament because of illness, joined the team in place of Shanto after getting his medical clearance on Tuesday.
Bangladesh batter Litton Das has re-joined the team for the Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2023 after he made a recovery from viral fever. The illness had prevented Das from joining the squad in Sri Lanka for the tournament opener, but after a clearance certificate from the medical team, the wicketkeeper batter will now team up with the squad for the Super 4 stage of the tournament, as per ICC. Bangladesh had sealed their qualification for the stage with a convincing 89-run win over Afghanistan on Sunday with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, taking the place of Das at the top of the order, making a memorable hundred.
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan on Wednesday rued the absence of experienced players like Liton Das, but said they have enough quality in their ranks to paper over their unavailability in the Asia Cup. Bangladesh will face six-time and defending champion Sri Lanka on Thursday. But they will be without veterans like Das, Tamim Iqbal and Ebadot Hosain, all ruled out due to different reasons. While Das could not recover in time from viral fever, Iqbal and Hosain are injured.
Bangladesh was dealt a significant blow on the opening day of the Asia Cup 2023, as star wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das has been ruled out for the entire duration of the tournament.
