Pakistan vs Bangladesh Betting Tips

Got a free bet? Consider using it on the below Pakistan vs Bangladesh match predictions and betting tips for the 2nd Test. We will be updating these tips with every game of the series.

  • Mehidy Hasan Miraz to take over 4.5 wickets in the match: 1.90 (1xBet)

The 26-year-old off-break bowler bowled a match-winning spell in the second innings of the 1st Test and finished with match figures of 5/101. The Rawalpindi wicket will favour spinners from the third day onwards, and Miraz is expected to bowl a major chunk of the overs. Given Pakistani batters' struggles against spin, we are backing Mehidy Hasan Miraz to take over 4.5 wickets in the 2nd Test.

  • Shadman Islam to hit over 4.5 fours in the match: 1.83 (1xBet)

The left-hander scored 102 runs in the last match, smashing 13 boundaries. In his Test career, Shadman is averaging five fours per game. He is in good nick in the series and has dominated the Pakistani bowlers.

‘The keeper-batter smashed 22 fours in his historic 191-run knock in the 1st innings of the first Test. He is known for scoring big runs, especially in sub-continental conditions, and the bulk of those runs come in boundaries. Given his recent form, we are backing Mushfiqur Rahim to hit the most fours in the second Test.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh — Todays’ Match Prediction

  • Pakistan vs. Bangladesh Win Probability Test Series: Pakistan (78%) | Draw (17%) | Bangladesh (5%)
  • The win probabilities of both teams, as well as the likelihood of the Test series ending in a draw, are derived from the odds offered by 1xBet, Melbet, and 22Bet: 1.22 on a Pakistan win, 21.00 on a Bangladesh win, and 4.50 on a draw.
  • Pakistan boasts a formidable pace bowling attack but lacks quality spinners. Their batting order is solid, featuring world-class batters in the top five.
  • Bangladesh has a well-balanced squad with a mix of youth and experience. They boast a formidable bowling attack with seven frontline options at their disposal.
  • The Rawalpindi pitch is known for favouring batters and producing high scores. As a result, teams often choose to bat first after winning the toss, as scoring becomes more challenging on the third, fourth, and fifth days.
PAKISTAN vs BANGLADESH TEST SERIES PREDICTION

Pakistan has never lost a Test series against Bangladesh to date, having won all six. They have won three, lost one, and drawn one series out of their last five Test series at home. But this time around, the Bangladesh squad is much more balanced, having troubled top-quality sides in the Asian subcontinent. We at Cricket Betting Advice are predicting the two-match Test series to end in a draw (1-1).

Key Players

Pakistan

  • Babar Azam: Against Bangladesh, Babar has amassed 242 runs in three Test matches, averaging a staggering 80.66. In Pakistan, his record is even more impressive: 1,491 runs in 13 matches at an average of 71.00. In Rawalpindi, he excels, averaging 84.30 with 506 runs from four matches. With the two Test matches to be played in Rawalpindi, Babar Azam is one of the top batters to watch out for.
  • Shan Masood: The Pakistan captain had a relatively quiet debut series as captain in Australia, scoring 181 runs in three matches. Eager to redeem himself on home soil, Masood will aim to lead his team with solid batting performances. With extensive county cricket experience, he is adept at handling pace and spin and is known for his ability to build a big innings.
  • Shaheen Shah Afridi: Pakistan's pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi is expected to be a major force in the two-match series against Bangladesh. He boasts an impressive record against the Tigers, claiming 15 wickets in three matches. His home record is even more formidable: 29 wickets in eight matches, including 14 wickets in Rawalpindi in three games. With his lethal combination of raw pace and swing, Shaheen Shah will be a threat with the new ball on a fast-paced track.

Bangladesh

  • Shakib Al Hasan: One of the top all-rounders in Test matches, Shakib has scored 508 runs and picked up nine wickets in five matches against Pakistan. In the only Test he has played this year, the southpaw scored 59 runs and picked up four wickets. This will be his first Test tour to Pakistan, where the wickets will likely suit his style of bowling, especially on the third and fourth days.
  • Mushfiqur Rahim: The wicketkeeper-batter has been the most reliable middle-order batsman for his team for over a decade now. He has yet to play a Test match in 2024, but in the recently concluded tour fixture, Rahim looked in good touch during his short stay at the crease. Against the hosts, he has scored 350 runs in six matches, averaging 29.16. He had a phenomenal 2023, scoring 355 runs in four matches at an average of 50.71. His ability to handle extreme pace makes him a dangerous customer with the bat.
  • Taijul Islam: The left-arm spinner is the second-highest wicket-taker for Bangladesh in Test matches, having picked up 195 wickets in 46 matches. Against Pakistan, his numbers are very good: 22 wickets in five matches. Taijul Islam is one of Bangladesh's key bowlers, and his performance with the ball will have a huge impact on the series outcome.
