BAN vs PAK Dream11 Match Preview

This will be the first game of the Tri-Series between New Zealand, Bangladesh and Pakistan. It will be an important series for all three teams just before the T20 World Cup 2022.  

Pakistan is coming off a 4-3 defeat against England in their own backyard. They will look to bounce back as a team and do well in this tri-series. They have a few areas of concern, the biggest of them is their middle-order which has failed to perform consistently. Pakistan will look to fix that in this series. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam will be their main batters and the majority of the scoring will be done by these two. 

The bowlers, especially the pacers weren’t that impressive against England except for Haris Rauf. They need to be consistent with their bowling. Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz have been in good form as the spinners. Pakistan has a good squad and they will look to gain some momentum before the mega event.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, has done quite a few changes in their line-up. They have a relatively young side with experienced players like Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman. They have failed to perform consistently as a team in the shortest format and it’s a great opportunity for them to gain some form as a side. They have good all-rounders like Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mosaddek Hossain to accompany Shakib. The likes of Afif Hossain, Liton Das, Shakib, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan, etc are their main batters. 

They have a good bowling unit. Mustafizur Rahman will lead the pacer attack and will be accompanied by Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Taskin Ahmed and Mohammad Saifuddin. Spinners will be their main strength. Shakib, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, and Mosaddek Hossain will be the spinners for Bangladesh. Bangladesh has a good squad and they must play as a team if they are to do well in this series.
