Buoyed by their last-over win over arch-foes India, a rejuvenated Pakistan will look to seal a berth in the title clash against Sri Lanka.
Pakistan collected nine points from three appearances and will go into the match as favourites.
A win for Pakistan will knock India out of the tournament, who has only four points in their kitty with one match remaining against Afghanistan.
Bangladesh, who played the final of the last edition, would be looking to prove that the loss to Afghanistan was a mere aberration and the side has the potential to humble stiffer opponents.
In one-day cricket, Bangladesh have upstaged Pakistan just once, that too way back in the 1999 World Cup in England.

Bangladesh: Mushfiqur Rahim (captain), Al-Amin Hossain, Arafat Sunny, Shafiul Islam, Naeem Islam, Rubel Hossain, Shakib-Al-Hasan, Ziaur Rahman, Abdur Razzak, Anamul Haque, Imrul Kayes, Mominul Haque, Nasir Hossain, Shamsur Rahman, Sohag Gazi, Shakib al Hasan.
