Babar Azam: Babar Azam has been getting starts but hasn’t converted them into big scores. However, he might score big in this game and lead from the front. The track will also be good for the batting, with the ball coming nicely on the surface.
Shaheen Afridi: Shaheen Afridi might enjoy bowling in Kolkata. The pitch will assist him with the new ball and provide ample carry even in the middle and slog overs. Shaheen can exploit the conditions and cause serious damage to the Bangladeshi batting lineup.
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan is an obvious captaincy choice despite his recent struggles. Shakib will contribute with both bat and ball. His overall record against Pakistan has also been decent in ODIs.
Hasan Ali: Hasan Ali has surprisingly been picked up by less than 8% of users as of now, making him a good differential pick. He will enjoy bowling in Kolkata, as the track will suit the pacers. Hasan can cause serious damage to the out-of-form Bangladesh team.
Taskin Ahmed: Taskin Ahmed has been selected by less than 34% of people as of now. He will also enjoy bowling in Kolkata and can dismiss a few batters. Taskin Ahmed might have a good outing.
Tanzid Hasan: Tanzid Hasan hasn’t done anything significant so far and can be avoided for this game.
If PAK bat first:
Complete the team with Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Hasan Ali.
If BAN bat first:
Complete the team with Mohammad Rizwan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Iftikhar Ahmed.
If PAK bat first:
