Pakistan vs Bangladesh Predictions

Ranked number one in ODI cricket, Pakistan come into this clash on the back of four wins in a row and a rained-off match against India in which Pakistan had the upper hand. Bangladesh have a strong batting unit but have lost three of their last five matches and will struggle to contain Pakistan’s batters.

Pakistan’s Babar Azam has scored 53, 60 & 151 in his last 3 innings.
Pakistan’s Iftikhar Ahmed scored 109* against Nepal.
Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 112* in his last innings against Afghanistan.
Bangladesh’s Mohammad Naim scored 22, 47, 38 & 28 in his last 6 innings.

Head-to-Head

This will be the first meeting between the two teams since Pakistan beat Bangladesh in the 2019 World Cup. Bangladesh won the previous four meetings between the sides, in 2018 and 2015.

Pakistan Form

In their last match, Pakistan bowled India out for 266 before rain ended the contest. In their previous match they thrashed Nepal by 238 runs.

Pakistan racked up 342/6, with Babar scoring 151 and Iftikhar Ahmed 109*.

Nepal were rolled for 104 in under 24 overs, Shadab Khan (4/27) starring with the ball.

Pakistan Team News

There are no injury reports from the Pakistan squad and they are likely to keep the same playing XI.

Bangladesh Form

After suffering a five-wicket loss to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh bounced back by beating Afghanistan by 89 runs.

Bangladesh scored 334/5 off their 50 overs, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz (112) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (104) scoring the bulk of the runs.

Afghanistan were bowled out for 245 off 44.3 overs, with Taskin Ahmed (4/44) and Shoriful Islam (3/36) the destroyers-in-chief.

Bangladesh Team News

Bangladesh are likely to stick with the side that beat Afghanistan, although they might relook their attack in a bid to contain Pakistan’s batters. Top batter Najmul Hossain Shanto has had to pull out of the Asia Cup due to a hamstring injury.

Verdict

Odds will be updated once released.

Verdict

Pakistan v Bangladesh

I am backing Pakistan to win. I am also backing Babar Azam to top score for Pakistan.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a good bet to top score for Bangladesh.
