Pakistan Team News & Probable Playing XIs
After winning the first two games of this tri-series, Pakistan lost their previous match to New Zealand handily. The biggest issue for Pakistan has been their over-reliance on their great openers, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. The intermediate and lower middle order frequently struggle when this two falter. They must exercise caution around that.

Pakistan is the favorite to win this match.
Out of the 17 T20I matches they have played versus Pakistan, Bangladesh has only triumphed in two. They were also soundly defeated by Pakistan in the opening game of the current tri-series. Pakistan will therefore enter this match as the favorite, as is obvious. The two Pakistani openers must be soon removed if Bangladesh is to have any chance, and the middle order must thereafter be constrained. Their bowling, meanwhile, lacks the strength needed to challenge batsmen on this pitch. Expect Pakistan to win the battle.
