BAN vs PAK Toss Prediction

The Bangladeshi side chose to bowl first in the first T20I. Both captains may feel obliged to get first use of the new ball in the second T20I.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Early on, the wicket at Shere Bangla National Stadium offers lively pace and bounce with the new ball. After the shine wears off, the pitch should begin to settle into a slower, turning surface that plays into the hands of crafty spinners. This is a pitch that demands resolve and adaptability from the batters.

The average first-innings score at Mirpur in the previous T20I series between Bangladesh and Pakistan was 120 runs.

The chance of rain is almost negligible at six percent. The temperatures will be both scorching and extremely humid. Even at night, the temperatures could be upwards of 30 degrees Celsius.

BAN vs PAK: Who Will Win?

Pakistan will need to pick up their performance level rather quickly to stay alive in this three-match T20I series. The tourists should have more than enough in the tank to knock over Bangladesh. Bangladesh will be buoyed by their pulsating win in the previous match, though.

Bangladesh showed that it can maximize home advantage in the previous match but Pakistan has the players to be able to adjust and then come back stronger.

Bet on Pakistan to win this match.

BAN vs PAK win percentage stands at 58% in favor of PAK.
