Venue | Eden Gardens, Kolkata |
Both teams have been below par in the tournament. Pakistan have managed to win just two games out of their six matches. They suffered a close 1-wicket loss to South Africa in the previous game. The defeat also ended most of Pakistan’s hopes of reaching the semis. However, the Men in Green are not complexly out of the semis. If they can win their remaining three games, they might have a slim chance of reaching the semis.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh have been absolutely poor, losing five out of six games. They also lost to Netherlands in the last game. Bangladesh can’t qualify for the semis even if they win all games.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.
The surface is generally good for batting at the Eden Gardens. The ball comes on the bat nicely and the quick outfield gives batters value for their shots.
It will be bright and sunny, with temperature ranging between 32 and 24 degrees. Dew could play a role.
Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq/Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Usama Mir, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf
Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam
Pakistan might look to bring Fakhar Zaman back in place of Imam who has looked ordinary. Also, Mohammad Nawaz should be left out for Shadab Khan, with Usama Mir retaining the place. Shadab was out from last game after suffering a concussion and Usama replaced him in the playing XI.
Pakistan have a great record against Bangladesh but given how both teams have played in the World Cup, the match could go either way.

Bowlers | Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf (VC) Mustafizur Rahman, Mohammad Wasim Jr |
Babar Azam has had a poor season as a batsman and as a captain. However, he still has a couple of fifties to his name in six games. Babar would be looking to play a big innings against Bangladesh, a team he has played a lot against.
Mohammad Rizwan is another batsman who has done well for the team in World Cup. Rizwan is one of the two centurions for Pakistan in World Cup. The wicketkeeper-batsman need to come good and help the team post big runs or chase the target.
The wicket will have no swing on offer but Rauf can trouble the Bangladesh batters with his searing pace. The pacer had a good game against South Africa and scalped two wickets.
Just like his team, Shakib Al Hasan has been poor in the World Cup but if Bangladesh have to pull off an upset, Shakib Al Hasan needs to have a good game. Shakib will know that Bangladesh have been hurt by his poor returns and will be determined to turn the tables.
Mustafizur Rahman is a good pacer. He is not easy to hit, thus, in the fag end of the innings, when batters are going for big shots, Fizz can be handy. He can give good fantasy points as there is a chance of him picking multiple wickets.
