Pakistan Preview
Pakistan made it to the Super Four after winning two games in the group stage, with their only loss coming against India. They began their Super Four journey losing by six wickets to India before bouncing back to winning ways by a 5-wicket win over Sri Lanka on Tuesday. They demonstrated that they can quickly recover from a challenging situation with a win. They are filled with confidence in this game, and they will continue to eye a place in the final, especially with their bowling attacking looking great again.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Prediction
Pakistan and Bangladesh have to secure a win in this game to have a chance in the final against India. Why non of the two sides can overpower the Men in Blue, both of them desired to be in the final. Pakistan are the favourites in this game, but I won't back them for a win; instead, I will pick my selections from the scoring market. Elsewhere, I think Saif Hassan will be instrumental for Bangladesh in this game. The 26-year-old batter is the second-highest run-scorer in this competition with 160 runs from three matches (average 53.33, strike rate 129.03), including consecutive fifties. So, I think he is going to be the top batter here.
