Bangladesh vs Pakistan is a fairly lopsided contest in cricket. But there’s no shortage of high-intense moments when these two Asian sides face each other.
While Pakistan have dominated over Bangladesh throughout their clashes, the Bangla Tigers have improved on their performances.
Pakistan have a pretty much edge on the bilateral front. But Bangladesh have sprung surprises in multination events.
Take, for instance, the 1999 World Cup upset pulled by Bangladesh against Pakistan. Or the 2016 T20 Asia Cup thriller between both sides.
There’s definitely no dearth of competitive cricket between both teams in multination tournaments. And we might get a glimpse of it in the 2025 Asia Cup.
Bangladesh and Pakistan will square off in the Super Four stage on September 25, 2025, in Dubai. Both teams are eyeing a spot in the final, so we can expect a thrilling contest.
That said, here’s the head-to-head timeline between Bangladesh and Pakistan, including notable records and moments.
