PAK vs BAN Dream11 Prediction

PAK vs BAN Match Preview

The Pakistani batsmen have performed adequately thus far, with Mohammad Rizwan emerging as their leading scorer with 333 runs. He is expected to play a crucial role in the middle order once again. Abdullah Shafique has consistently delivered as an opener, achieving two half-centuries and a century in just five innings.

Babar Azam has recently regained his form, impressively scoring three half-centuries in his last four innings. However, the performances of other batsmen such as Imam Ul-Haq, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Mohammad Nawaz have been inconsistent.

Leading the bowling attack with the new ball will be Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has already taken 13 wickets. Haris Rauf and Muhammad Waseem Jr. complete the seamers' trio in the team. Unfortunately, Pakistan's struggles in the spin department persist, as the sole specialist Usama Mir has been conceding over 7 runs per over.

Bangladesh's performance has been disappointing across all aspects of the game. From the opening pair of Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan to the experienced bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed, the players have lacked the determination and drive to secure victories.

Even skipper Shakib Al-Hasan, who was a standout performer in the 2019 World Cup, has struggled to replicate his past success, only managing to score 61 runs and take 7 wickets so far. Najmul Hossain Shanto, the team's most successful batsman in 2023, has also underperformed, averaging just 16.60 in this tournament.

The team's top-scorer, Mahmudullah, has been the only consistent performer with 218 runs. Shoriful Islam has been the most successful bowler for Bangladesh, taking 8 wickets, while Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman have only managed to take 8 wickets combined.

In terms of spin, Shakib will rely on Mehidy Hasan Miraz for support, while Mahedi Hasan provides an additional option during the middle overs.
