Bangladesh, who have played spirited cricket throughout the ICC World Cup 2019 will look to finish with a win when they go up against Pakistan on July 5 (Friday) at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

The Tigers have played some outstanding cricket in this World Cup; although the results have not come their way. Shakib Al Hasan has been excellent with both bat and ball but lacked support from his teammates as Bangladesh failed to make into the semifinals. They beat South Africa and Afghanistan, pulled off a record chase against West Indies, showed several moments of brilliance in a big chase against Australia, and nearly beat New Zealand.

Bangladesh will look to go all the way against Pakistan and finish their campaign on a positive note.

Here is the predicted playing XI of Bangladesh for match 43 of the ICC World Cup 2019 against Pakistan at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London:
