Bangladesh vs Pakistan prediction

Neither Bangladesh nor Pakistan are yet to play a game in this competition following the four washed out last eight encounters. But both have named stacked squads in a serious attempt to win gold at this tournament, so the chances are we will see a very high-quality contest. Pakistan have won five of their last seven T20i matches against Bangladesh, with the Tigers’ only two victories coming on home soil.

Expect a close game between these two nations and it could go either way. But Pakistan have notably improved under Mike Hesson and the head coach has utilised his vast knowledge of T20 cricket to get the best out of his players. He may prove the X-Factor here, so back Pakistan to advance.
