Pakistan will now face India in the final on Sunday, December 21, at the ICC Academy Ground.

The final will begin at 9am local time.

The rain-affected contest was reduced to 27 overs per side following overnight showers and a wet outfield, with play getting underway after a delayed start.

Pakistan captain Farhan Yousaf won the toss and elected to field, a decision that paid rich dividends as the bowlers combined to restrict Bangladesh to 121 all out in 26.3 overs.

Right-arm pacer Abdul Subhan led the charge with an impressive four-wicket haul, applying the brakes through the middle overs.

He was well supported by Huzaifa Ahsan, who picked up two wickets, while Ali Raza, Mohammad Sayyam and Ahmed Hussain chipped in with a wicket apiece to keep Bangladesh in check.

Samiun Basir top-scored for Bangladesh with 33 runs.

In turn, Pakistan achieved the target in just 16.3 overs, losing two wickets in the process.

Opener Sameer Minhas anchored the run-chase with an unbeaten 69 off 57 balls, striking six fours and two sixes to ensure there were no hiccups.

Usman Khan provided brisk support with a 27-run knock, which included two fours and as many sixes, while Ahmed remained not out on 11 to see Pakistan home.
