Pakistan vs Bangladesh prediction

Pakistan are missing a number of their top players for this series with the likes of Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan not featuring. This does give an opportunity though for others to state their case as the hosts look to try and rebuild in white ball cricket. Bangladesh meanwhile, have been in awful form across the limited overs game, most recently losing a series against UAE. They have some first team regulars out through injury, which won’t help their cause here.

At the Gaddafi Stadium, you’d expect a good batting pitch, which is what we’ve seen across the recent PSL. This should suit Pakistan and their players coming off the back of the country’s premier domestic T20 tournament means they won’t need to adapt to the short form of the game. Bangladesh may need more time to adapt and backing a home victory should be favoured.
