BAN vs PAK Match Prediction: Head-to-Head Record

Bangladesh and Pakistan have faced each other 41 times in the ODI format, with Pakistan having the upper hand, winning 35 games, and the Bangla Tigers have won six games. In the ODI World Cups, there has been a more even contest; in three meetings, the Men in Green have won two, and Bangladesh has won just a single game.

Pitch Report & Conditions

The Sher-e-Bangla Stadium has been a decent scoring ground. In 123 games, only 13 times have 300-plus runs been scored with the pitch that tends to offer spin, and it is on the drier side. The spinners, in particular, however, the pacers have dominated games in this series, so both teams have relied on playing more pacers than spin bowling options.

Teams batting first have won 59 games and chasing 64; there is not much difference between the two. The toss will not be a factor as there is rain predicted for the game. However, on a freshly prepared wicket, teams would want to bat first after winning the toss.

BAN vs PAK Weather Report

There is a chance of rain ahead and during the game. However, a cloudy sky will be there during the afternoon, and there is a chance of rain to interrupt the game. During the match, the temperature will be around 32 to 22 degrees Celsius, and it is believed to have a pleasent weather.

BAN vs PAK Match Prediction: Probable XIs

Bangladesh Playing XI: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Tawhid Hridoy, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain), Rishad Hossain, Nahid Rana, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed.

Pakistan Playing XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Ali Agha, Abdul Samad, Saad Masood, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi (captain), Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Abrar Ahmed.

Toss Impact:

The toss will be a key factor as it is not an evening game, and the temperature has also been on the pleasant side. With rain predicted to come in ahead of and between the match, there will be some dampness if the rain occurs. However, teams would want to bat first after winning the toss.

BAN vs PAK - Form and Fitness:

There have been injury concerns for Pakistan, with Hussain Talat being injured in the last match while fielding. He was hospitalized after a shoulder injury and was replaced by Saad Masood in the field. He will be out from the 3rd ODI, and hopefully Saad Masood will replace him.

BAN vs PAK - Score Prediction:

A first-innings score between 250 and 275 has been a good total on this ground. As we saw, Pakistan scored 273 in the last match. Anything below 250 would be chased down by the teams. Despite the spin to offer, there is no chance of dew; if it comes, then it might also affect the very few overs of the game.

BAN vs PAK: Players to Perform Prediction

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hassan, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nahid Rana, Mustafizur Rahman.

Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf.

Best Batsman Prediction

Who will score the most runs for Bangladesh? Litton Das or Tanzid Hassan.

Who will score the most runs for Pakistan? Salman Ali Agha or Sahibzada Farhan.

Best Bowler Prediction

Who will pick the most wickets for Bangladesh? Mustafizur Rahman or Nahid Rana.

Who will pick the most wickets for Pakistan? Shaheen Shah Afridi or Haris Rauf.

Conclusion: Who will win the BAN vs PAK Match?

The BAN vs PAK 3rd ODI is a decider, and both teams would want their best playing XI on the pitch and perform as required to win the match and the series as well.

This has been the preparation for the ODI World Cup 2027. No team would enter as favourites, however, Pakistan would have a slight edge as they have won the last game.
