Bangladesh vs Pakistan Match Analysis

Bangladesh got on the positive end of the first series and will hope to repeat that feat here. In that game, this team won by seven wickets in a 112-110. Meanwhile, prior to this series, the Bangladesh side defeated Sri Lanka 2-1, pulling off a comeback after a disappointing seven-wicket defeat in the first game. Ahead of this game, Bangladesh eyes their third win in six meetings against the Pakistan team in this T20.

Pakistan come into this game as favourites and will hope to do better after a not-too-good performance in the opener. In the meantime, this team has been unlucky lately, losing to New Zealand in consecutive series and South Africa and Australia in recent T20 encounters, with their lone win against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, this team comes into this series with a number of young players in this group. 

Bangladesh: Form

Parvez Hossain Emon is the Bangladesh batter to watch after pulling off a match-winning knock in the first T20I, remaining unbeaten on 56 off 39 balls. Taskin Ahmed had returning figures of 3/22 in 3.3 overs in the opener and he struck in the powerplay to dismantle Pakistan’s top order, which Bangladesh could rely on in this fixture. 

Bangladesh Squad List

Litton Das (c), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Mohammad Naim, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mohammad Saifuddin

Pakistan: Form

In the first game, Fakhar Zaman was the only player to pick in Pakistan’s batting lineup in the first T20I. He scored 44 runs off 34 balls and has 77 sixes in T20Is and should be a huge asset in this game. Salman Mirza is the promising bowler for Pakistan in this game. In the first T20I, he picked up two wickets for 23 runs in 3.3 overs. 

Pakistan Squad List

Salman Ali Agha (c), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris (wk), Abrar Ahmed, Ahmed Daniyal, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Nawaz, Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Mirza, Sufiyan Muqeem

Who will win in Match - Bangladesh vs Pakistan?

Pakistan have dominated this T20 head-to-head against Bangladesh and will hope they can continue with the same run. In those encounters, Pakistan won 19 of 23 meetings, with Bangladesh managing just four victories.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan Prediction

The Bangladesh team will be full of confidence in this game two, with their opener win being a huge momentum. Also, playing at home should also bring some comfort with full support from their fans. While the Pakistan team is full of a number of young players, I still do not see them losing consecutive games to Bangladesh, and coming into this game as favourites breeds some relief. While I believe this game will be very close, with Bangladesh already showing they are capable of getting the job done, I still feel Salman Agha will lead this inexperienced Pakistan side to victory in this second game.
