Bangladesh vs Pakistan: An Overview

Two sub-continental cricketing nations will collide in the upcoming series, starting from November 19.

And as cricket fans, we’re never complaining as long as we get our money’s worth.

The two sides have played 13T20is so far, with Pakistan winning 10 and Bangladesh two. One match was abandoned.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan Prediction

Before we look at Bangladesh vs Pakistan predictions for the T20Is, here’s a quick rundown of how the two sides have fared of late.

• Bangladesh performed miserably at the recently concluded T20 World Cup, losing all their matches. Even Sri Lanka and South Africa – that came into the tournament with the least expectations riding on them – handed out defeats to the Bangladeshis.
• On the other end of the spectrum is Pakistan, which played out of its skin to finish as table-toppers from Group 2. Nobody really gave them a chance, but the side defied all odds and how!
• The Bangladesh squad hasn’t been announced yet, but Pakistan certainly seems the stronger side on paper. In skipper Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, and Haider Ali, their batting looks more than stable. And then there’s the pace troika of Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf, and Shaheen Afridi.

Bangladesh may be hosting Pakistan, but there won’t be a significant home advantage on offer. It is, after all, part of the same sub-continent, and the Pakistanis will know how to offset any kind of home-field gains the Bangladeshis expect to make.

For Bangladesh vs Pakistan betting, this author’s prediction is that in the three T20s, Babar Azam and Co. should sail easily. If no game gets abandoned, we foresee a 3-0 victory for Pakistan.

That said, it is imperative we give our standard disclaimer here. Even the best cricket prediction in the world, while being extremely useful, should be taken with a grain of salt unless it is an absolutely lopsided contest.

Team News for Bangladesh vs Pakistan Betting

Pakistan

Good news for batting all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed, as he has been re-drafted into the Pakistani side for the upcoming T20Is. However, the experienced Mohammad Hafeez has chosen to sit out, requesting selectors to “allow youngsters opportunities to perform and gain international exposure”.

Iftikhar had been initially left out of the squad as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) preferred the seasoned Shoaib Malik. But now that he has been recalled, Iftikhar will look to make the most of this opportunity. The 31-year-old has had a brilliant 2021 when it comes to T20s, scoring 654 runs at an average of 54.50 and a killer strike rate of 145.98. Phew, that’s something!

For Bangladesh vs Pakistan betting, you should know which players could be instrumental in their team’s success. To that end, we have identified top cricketers who we think will have a significant impact on the upcoming T20Is.

Pakistan

Babar Azam

With 303 runs under his belt (at an average of 60.60), the Pakistani skipper was the highest run-getter of the recently concluded T20 World Cup. An excellent prospect in terms of Bangladesh vs Pakistan betting.

Mohammad Rizwan

The second-most prolific batter for Pakistan has to be Mohammad Rizwan. The 29-year-old had a brilliant outing at the World Cup, amassing 281 runs (second only to Babar Azam) at a staggering average of 70.25. Another sure-fire prospect for Bangladesh vs Pakistan betting.

Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf

The duo isn’t the most economical pair around in T20 cricket, but they certainly are wicket-takers. In fact, the two are also our top picks for Bangladesh vs Pakistan betting (check out the ‘Bangladesh vs Pakistan Tips’ section above).

Iftikhar Ahmed

He wasn’t a part of the Pakistan squad at the World Cup. But now that he has been recalled into the side, we think he’ll leave his mark on the tour. Iftikhar Ahmed has had a memorable time in T20s this year, with 654 runs in his kitty at 54.5 runs per match. That speaks a lot about the man’s match-winning potential.

• While they eventually lost to Australia in the semi-final, Pakistan finished as the table-toppers from Group 2, which was really unexpected of them given their relative experience.
