Top 3 bowlers to watch out for in 1st semi-final of Asian Games 2026
Pakistan take on Bangladesh at Korogi Sports Park, Nisshin, on October 1, 2026, with several bowlers set to play a key role.
1. Shoriful Islam
Shoriful Islam is a left-arm pace bowler who features in Bangladesh's probable XI for the semi-final. He is part of a Bangladesh pace attack that also includes Mustafizur Rahman, giving the side two experienced left-arm options with the new ball and at the death. Shoriful's ability to swing the ball and vary his pace makes him a threat in T20 cricket.
With both teams entering the semi-final without a completed match in the tournament, conditions at Korogi Sports Park will be fresh for all players, and Shoriful's pace and movement could play a decisive role in Bangladesh's bowling effort against Pakistan on Thursday, October 01.
