Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Pakistan have been unchanged for both matches so far and they could be tempted to stick with their winning team again to build momentum. Amad Butt is the only uncapped player yet to have been used, and he could be given an opportunity to showcase his worth. Iftikhar Ahmed may be the man to make way.
PAK Key Players
Babar Azam: Scored two half-centuries in the T20i series defeat to Australia and got back to form last time out with 66* from 44 balls.
Haris Rauf: Made his Pakistan debut in this series and has picked up a wicket in each of the two matches so far.
Shoaib Malik: Not needed with the bat last time out, but his fine form had continued in the opening game of the series when he hit a match-winning 58* from 45 balls.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan came into this series in bad form but two wins from two have reiterated why they are still top of the World T20i rankings. Shoaib Malik was the match-winner first up, with a well-timed, unbeaten half-century to lead a chase of 142 and a five-wicket win.
In the second game, Mohammad Hafeez hit 67* and Babar Azam 66* as Pakistan eased to a nine-wicket win chasing 137. They needed just 16.4 overs to complete a dominant win.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Bangladesh Premier League stars Najmul Hossain Shanto and Rubel Hossain could come into the team as the Tigers look to avoid a 3-0 series whitewash. Mohammad Naim and Mahedi Hasan could be the players to make way.
BAN Key Players
Tamim Iqbal: Scored 39 in the opening game and 65 in the second to prove his worth at the top of the order – though it could be argued he scored a little too slowly.
Shafiul Islam: Took the only wicket to fall last time out, having also been Bangladesh’s top bowler in the opening game when he claimed 2-27 from his four overs.
Al-Amin Hossain: Has bowled economically so far, with figures of 1-18 and 0-17 from the two matches. He has now bowled in 100 T20 innings and taken 116 wickets.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh have now lost four T20 internationals in a row since beating India in the first game of their last series. A 2-1 series defeat there has been followed by two defeats so far in this series. Tamim Iqbal hit a half-century last time out, but could not prevent a nine-wicket defeat.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Liton Das (wk), Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah (c), Soumya Sarkar, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Al-Amin Hossain, Aminul Islam
