PAK vs BAN Preview:
- Babar Azam has an ODI average of just under 60 and the Pakistan skipper is our tip for their highest run scorer against Bangladesh. With the ball, Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4-35, including two maiden overs, in the no-result with India and he is well worth backing to be Pakistan’s top wicket taker in this game.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz struck 112 runs from 119 balls against Afghanistan at the top of the order and he is our pick for Bangladesh’s highest run scorer in this match. Taskin Ahmed took 4-44 from 8.3 overs on Sunday and we expect him to be Bangladesh’s top wicket taker against Pakistan.
- After hitting 151, 60 and 53 from his last three ODI innings, we expect to see Babar Azam scoring over 31.5 runs in this match.

In spite of the big win over Afghanistan in their last game in Group B, Bangladesh have been rocked by a hamstring injury to Najmul Hossain Shanto who had been in excellent form and hit 104 runs from 105 balls on Sunday.

Winning Chances:
With the tournament stepping up a level in the Super Fours, we are predicting a high scoring match in Lahore on Thursday. Pakistan have been the most impressive side so far in the tournament but Bangladesh also looked very strong in their last game. However, the injury to Najmul Hossain Shanto will make the Tigers a weaker side and we are backing Pakistan to win this match.
