Pakistan are favorites to win
The final group stage game of the New Zealand Men’s Tri-Nation Series sees Pakistan take on Bangladesh at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday afternoon. Pakistan have won two of their three games and have already qualified for Friday’s final. Bangladesh have lost three from three and can not reach the final. Read on as we preview this match. This fixture begins at 15:00 local time.
Pakistan were well beaten by New Zealand in their last match and do look far weaker without Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf in the bowling attack. With Rauf back, we expect them to be too strong for Bangladesh here.
As has happened many times in his international career, Shakib Al Hasan put in a good performance on Wednesday but his team-mates could not match it. Bangladesh will need to raise their game a huge amount to win in this match.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Spark Sport, Willow TV and BT Sport.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Rabbitholebd Sports, FanCode and Spark Sport
Teams have had the most success by winning the toss and fielding first in this tri-nation series. We expect both skippers to elect to bowl first in this match.
The pitch in Christchurch has allowed for a good contest between bat and ball throughout this series. We expect a par score to be no higher than 150 in this clash.
Rain earlier in the day but we do not anticipate any interruptions during the match. The temperature will be no higher than 11 degrees from start to finish.

Naseem Shah came in for the rested Haris Rauf ahead of Tuesday’s defeat to New Zealand in Christchurch. Although the pace bowler took no wickets, we expect him to keep his place in the side with Rauf replacing the expensive Shahnawaz Dahani.
Pakistan have impressed in this series with only one defeat and two strong victories so far.

After two defeats from the opening two games of the series, Bangladesh made three changes for their game against New Zealand on Wednesday afternoon. In came Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Saifuddin and Ebadot Hossain with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud dropping out.
Bangladesh beat UAE 2-0 ahead of this tri-nation series but have lost three successive matches.
Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mosaddek Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (wk), Ebadot Hossain Shoriful Islam, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman
Bangladesh have a very poor record against Pakistan in IT20s. They have lost each of the last seven meetings between the sides in this format.

With Pakistan winning the first game of the tri-nation series against Bangladesh, it is no surprise to see them as heavy favourites ahead of this re-match.

Pakistan have excellent quality at the top of their batting order and match-winners in other positions. Bangladesh have only Shakib Al Hasan who consistently puts in strong performances in international cricket.
We are backing Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Shan Masood with the bat for Pakistan. Masood has a top score of 65 not out in this format.
Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar are our tips with the bat for Bangladesh. Sarkar has a top score of 68 in IT20s.
Shadab Khan, Haris Rauf and Mohammad Wasim are our bowling picks for Pakistan. Khan took the only wicket for Pakistan in the defeat to New Zealand.
We recommend Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin and Ebadot Hossain with the ball for Bangladesh. Shakib has 122 international wickets in this format.
Bangladesh have been very disappointing in IT20s for over 12 months and have been well beaten by New Zealand and Pakistan during this tri-nation series. We expect Pakistan to look to build momentum ahead of Friday’s final and are predicting a win for them in this match.
