Heavy rain has affected the men’s cricket tournament in Japan, with all four quarter-finals abandoned without a ball being bowled. Pakistan and Bangladesh advanced to the semi-finals against Hong Kong and Malaysia, respectively, based on their higher tournament seedings.
Bangladesh will enter the contest with a near full-strength squad led by Litton Das. The return of experienced players such as Najmul Hossain Shanto gives them added strength as they look to beat Pakistan and reach the gold-medal match.
Pakistan’s bowling attack lacks international experience but has plenty of potential. Sufyan Moqim enters the tournament in strong form after taking 12 wickets in his last five CPL matches, including back-to-back four-wicket hauls.
Bangladesh will look to make the most of their stronger squad. Captain Litton Das will rely on Tanzid Hasan Tamim at the top, while Towhid Hridoy enters the match after scoring an unbeaten 350 during an ‘A’ team tour of South Africa.

Bangladesh also have no major injury concerns in their current squad. However, Mohammed Saifuddin has been ruled out of the tournament and was not replaced. Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain expected to play important roles with the ball on the slow surface.
