PAK vs BAN Dream11 Prediction

PAK vs BAN Match Preview

Pakistan possesses a well-balanced team for this upcoming contest and aims to outperform Bangladesh in all aspects of the game. The opening pair of Fakhar Zaman and Imam Ul-Haq, who were unable to make a significant impact in the match against Nepal, will commence the proceedings with the bat.

Babar Azam, who has had an exceptional year thus far, will play a crucial role in the number-3 slot. He, along with Iftikhar Ahmed, formed a formidable partnership of 214 runs to propel Pakistan to a substantial total. The middle order will feature Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, and Shadab Khan.

Although Pakistan's batting order is not weak, it is evident that they rely heavily on Babar Azam. However, their depth in batting provides them with a significant advantage over most other teams, including Bangladesh.

Pakistan currently boasts one of the finest pace attacks in the world. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah are all capable of generating serious pace and are effective on all types of surfaces. Afridi, who picked up four wickets in the match against India, is currently in prime form. However, the spin attack remains a weakness for Pakistan, as they will have to depend on all-rounders Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz.

In the previous match, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz exhibited an impressive demonstration of batting prowess, each scoring a century and achieving Bangladesh's second-highest partnership for the 3rd wicket. However, there is some concern regarding the form of other batsmen, such as Mohammad Naim, Towhid Hridoy, and Mushfiqur Rahim, who have yet to perform well. While all-rounders Shakib Al-Hasan, Shamim Hossain, and Afif Hossain provide depth to the batting lineup, their performance against a high-quality bowling attack remains to be seen.

Bangladesh's batting has often struggled in conditions that favor high-scoring games. They tend to fare better on surfaces where the ball grips and the run-rates are not excessively high. Unfortunately, the Gaddafi Stadium is unlikely to be conducive to their style of play.

The seam attack will be led by Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Hasan Mahmud, while the spin attack will consist of Shakib, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Afif Hossain. However, this bowling attack is not one that Pakistan is likely to be overly concerned about. None of the bowlers in this lineup are considered world-class, and even on their best day, they may struggle to outperform Pakistan's bowlers.
