PAK vs BAN Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 World Cup 2022
Pakistan and Bangladesh meet in the penultimate game of the Super 12 stage, Match 40 of the 2022 T20 World Cup, on Sunday afternoon in Adelaide. Both teams have won two and lost two and must win this game to give themselves any chance of progressing to the semi-final stage. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at the Adelaide Oval at 14:30 local time.
Pakistan have given themselves a chance of staying in the competition and a win will put them in a semi-final position ahead of India’s game later in the day. They have a very strong record against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh showed plenty of improvement in their game against India and if they can bat with the same intensity at the top of the order then they could cause problems. They need to win by a large margin to remain in the tournament.

PAK vs BAN Match Toss Prediction
Batting first is the usual way to victory in IT20 cricket at the Adelaide Oval. It would be a big surprise if either of the skippers chose to field first in this game.
PAK vs BAN Pitch Report
Spinners and pace bowlers can both find something to assist them in this surface in Adelaide. We expect that any score over 185 will be very hard to chase down in this game.
Weather Report
Sunny with cloudy spells from start to finish of this afternoon game. The temperature will peak at 27 degrees at the start of the second innings of the match.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Mohammad Haris in for Fakhar Zaman was the only change at number three in the batting line-up for Pakistan ahead of their last match. Zaman picked up a knee injury in the win over Netherlands and is not expected to feature again during this tournament.
PAK Key Players
- Mohammad Rizwan- the right-handed opener has been Pakistan’s most consistent batter over the last two years. He will need to deliver once again at the Adelaide Oval in this clash.
- Shadab Khan- the bowling all-rounder took the Player of the Match Award against South Africa. He will know that Rashid Khan has had success in Adelaide and will look to do something similar.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi- the 22 year old fast bowler had looked below his usual high standards in the opening games but took 3-14 against a strong South Africa batting line-up in the last match.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan had lost successive games in T20 World Cup 2022 but are now targeting their third straight win.

BAN Team News
Pace bowler Shoriful Islam came into the side for the defeat to India as Bangladesh picked a pace heavy side. However, he conceded 57 runs from four wicketless overs and, with drier weather forecast, we expect Mehidy Hasan Miraz to come back in.
BAN Key Players
- Litton Das- the opener was in destructive form before the rain delay spoilt his momentum against India. The fearsome Indian bowling attack were unable to dismiss him before he unluckily slipped and was run out.
- Shakib Al Hasan- the all-rounder dismissed KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav on Wednesday at this ground. It shows he still is one of the most impressive left-arm spinners in T20 cricket.
- Taskin Ahmed- the fast bowler went wicketless against India but produced some good pace and unplayable deliveries against India. He will be looking forward to bowling on the same pitch in this game.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh have lost three of their last five IT20s and put in a strong performance against India in their last match.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mosaddek Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman

Who will win Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20 Match?
Bangladesh caused India problems on this wicket on Wednesday and they will come into this game with more self-belief. However, Pakistan have the greater number of world class players and should be too strong.
🏆 Pakistan vs Bangladesh Prediction
Bangladesh are still in the hunt for a place in the semi-final and if Litton Das produces another aggressive innings at the top of the order then anything could happen. However, performances like that from Das and his team-mates have been in short supply in this format whereas Pakistan have been a far more consistent side. We are backing Pakistan to win this game confortably.
