Bangladesh A beat India A to reach the final. A misfield allowed the men in blue to tie the game, and Bangladesh had to fight it out in the super over. They are now all set to face the unbeaten Pakistan A at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha for the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 Final.
Pakistan A faced their toughest challenge of the tournament during the semi-final. The middle order collapsed while batting first against a strong Sri Lankan bowling attack. However, the bowlers continued their form as they secured a very narrow victory while defending a 153-run total.
Bangladesh A, on the other hand, failed to contain the flow of runs against a strong Indian batting lineup while defending 194 runs. And in the previous game, though the bowlers did well against Sri Lanka, the batters failed to chase down a 160-run target.
Inconsistency is the major concern for Bangladesh A coming into this match. However, Habibur Rahman Sohan, the opening batter who scored a hundred against Hong Kong, is in great touch and will be a key batsman in this match.
For Pakistan A, Sufiyan Muqeem and Saad Masood are the reliable performers in the bowling attack to watch out for.

All eyes will be on Habibur Rahman Sohan to get the side off to a flier. He is the in-form batter who’s scored a hundred and a fifty in his last four innings. The good news for Bangladesh A is that the opener came good in the knockout game against a strong team like India A.
His opening partner, Jishan Alam, was also off to a good start in the semi-final. He had struggled to get going in the previous matches, but has finally found his form at a crucial stage in the tournament.
Bangladesh A need their opening batters to convert their starts into more impactful knocks. Though they have a strong middle order, most of them haven’t been consistent, and the recent performance from SM Meherob at number 6 will boost the team’s confidence in their finishers.
The right-arm offbreak bowler scored an unbeaten 48 off 18 balls to deliver a strong finish that propelled the side to a 194-run total in the semi-final. Zawad Abrar and Akbar Ali are key players in the middle order whose knocks can make or break the innings for Bangladesh.
The key bowlers like Abu Hider Rony and Rippon Mondol are struggling to find breakthroughs and are also conceding runs at a higher economy rate. Abdul Gaffar Saqlain and Rakibul Hasan will be the key players to watch out for in this bowling attack.

Pakistan A must bring their A-game to the final. The skipper wouldn’t want the law of averages to catch up with them as they take on their rivals in this match.
Maaz Sadaqat and Mohammad Naeem will be key to a good start. Sadaqat has looked in fine rhythm with his brilliant strike rates in the last few outings.
He has been consistently scoring runs for Pakistan A and will be one to watch out for in this match. The semi-final was only the second time in the tournament that Pakistan’s middle order was exposed.
Yasir Khan and Mohammad Faiq hold the key to the middle order. They haven’t been in good form and are struggling to accelerate the rate of scoring during the middle overs.
Skipper Irfan Khan and Saad Masood look more promising lower down the order. A lot depends on these two when it comes to delivering a big finish. In the bowling attack, Sufiyan Maqeem and Maaz Sadaqat are the key wicket-takers.
Ahmed Daniyal has bounced back after a poor outing against Oman with brilliant spells in the last two consecutive matches. Shahid Aziz is another consistent performer in the bowling department.
Overall, Pakistan A packs a strong punch with reliable and consistent performers, and though there are a few vulnerabilities in the batting, they have enough variety and depth to make up for it.

There will be clear skies in Doha with a high of 26 degrees Celsius around the match time. We don’t expect any rain or other weather interruptions that could hinder the game.
They seem to be using a different track at the West End Park International Cricket for the knockout matches. The previous pitch had gotten slower over time, and batters were struggling big time. The first semi-final saw a much better performance from the batters in both innings. If the same wicket is used for this game, we can expect a high-scoring encounter between Bangladesh A and Pakistan A. The average first innings score in the last 5 games at this venue in this tournament is 156 runs. The team batting first should aim for something over 175 runs to be in a winning position in this match.
Teams batting first have won 4 of the last 5 matches played at this venue in this tournament. The Final will be a game of nerves, and chasing will not be an ideal option despite the conditions. Both teams feature a strong bowling attack with match-winning performers and will back themselves to defend a total.
It will be a neck-and-neck contest between two well-matched teams. However, Bangladesh A’s inconsistency will be a major concern for them, while Pakistan’s batting depth and current bowling form will put them slightly ahead going into this match. Pakistan A will start as favorites to win.
