Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
It was a fine performance from Pakistan’s pace bowlers in the last game against India and no injuries were reported after the match. So far in the Asia Cup 2023, Babar Azam has announced the same XI ahead of both fixtures and we expect the same again for this clash.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - The captain is in brilliant form across all formats and has an excellent record in Lahore. He has hit two hundreds and one half-century in ODIs at this venue.
- Naseem Shah - The 20 year old right arm fast bowler impressed against India on Saturday with his pace too much for the lower order.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi - The left-arm quick bowler has been in strong form over recent months and dismissed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja in the last game.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan were ahead of the game in the last match before the rain ended the fixture and they had lost only one of their previous nine ODIs.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
In spite of the big win over Afghanistan in their last game in Group B, Bangladesh have been rocked by a hamstring injury to Najmul Hossain Shanto who had been in excellent form and hit 104 runs from 105 balls on Sunday. Litton Das, who has recently returned from injury himself, is expected to replace him.
BAN Key Players
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The 25 year old all-rounder struck seven fours and three sixes at the top of the order in the last game and his innings was only ended by finger cramp.
- Shakib Al Hasan - The skipper has often been Bangladesh’s top batter and bowler over the last decade and is always capable of turning a game with both bat and ball.
- Taskin Ahmed - The powerfully built fast bowler has really developed over the past 12-18 months. He dismissed Rahmat Shah, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the last match.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh won their last game by 89 runs on Sunday and have won two of their last three ODIs.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Naim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan (c), Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud

Who will win Pakistan vs Bangladesh Match?
Bangladesh were strong in their last game but they come up against Pakistan who are playing excellent ODI cricket at the moment. We have Pakistan as the top team in front of their home supporters.
🏆 Pakistan vs Bangladesh Prediction
With the tournament stepping up a level in the Super Fours, we are predicting a high scoring match in Lahore on Thursday. Pakistan have been the most impressive side so far in the tournament but Bangladesh also looked very strong in their last game. However, the injury to Najmul Hossain Shanto will make the Tigers a weaker side and we are backing Pakistan to win this match.
