To Win Match

Bangladesh 26/10 | Tie 25/1 | Pakistan 29/100

Bangladesh

Bangladesh have struggled against a Pakistan bowling attack that have kept them under pressure throughout.

On a tricky surface any sort of total will prove difficult to chase but the Tigers haven’t been able to put up the numbers.

Afif Hossain showed glimpses of his best but the whole top order is in need of runs.

Mahedi Hasan has been very good but Pakistan have been able to see him off without taking too many risks.

Pakistan

Fakhar Zaman looked like he played himself in during the second T20I despite finding it difficult to score.

There isn’t likely to be an improvement in the pitch which means that the game won’t be played at a breakneck pace and mistakes will be crucial.

Pakistan seem to have a bowling attack that can keep any side on their toes with Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi terrorising batters.

Babar Azam leads this side well and they continue to build momentum and charge up the T20I rankings.

Verdict: Pakistan 29/100

Pakistan should win this against a Bangladesh outfit completely bereft of confidence.
