Bangladesh vs Pakistan Prediction, 3rd ODI – Who will win today’s match between BAN vs PAK?

Bangladesh (BAN) are set to face rivals Pakistan (PAK) in the third and final ODI of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, March 15, in a game that will be played at the iconic Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The series decider between the two fierce competitors promises to be an exciting contest of cricket.

The Bangla Tigers were absolutely breathtaking in the first ODI against the Shaheen Shah Afridi-led side. However, they faltered miserably in the following clash, losing by a massive margin of 118 runs to the visitors.

The Men in Green, on the other hand, came back strongly after a disappointing outing in the series opener. Shaheen & Co. claimed a one-sided victory after a clinical performance with both the bat and ball and levelled the series. Now, they would certainly fancy a win on Sunday to walk off with a series win under their belt.

BAN vs PAK: Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Maaz Sadaqat

The left-hander from Pakistan has announced himself to the international arena in style with a fine performance in his maiden series. In the second match of the series, the opener scored 75 runs off just 46 deliveries to win the Player of the Match. Shaheen Afridi would want Sadaqat to replicate the same in the series decider on Sunday.

Probable best bowler: Mehidy Hasan Miraz 

The Bangladesh captain has been phenomenal throughout the series, especially with the ball. The off-spinner has picked up five wickets in two innings so far. If the Bangla Tigers are to do well, their captain has to step up with the ball once again.
