PAK vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, Today Match Prediction, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023

Pakistan vs Bangladesh will come face to face against each other for the first time in this World Cup on October 31. It is the 31st match of the tournament and is set to take place at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This is also the second time that the venue is hosting a cricket match in this World Cup. Both the teams have played 6-6 matches so far in this competition, out of which Pakistan has won two and Bangladesh has won only one match.  Bangladesh is currently ranked 9th in the points table and Pakistan is ranked 6th.

Bangladesh is in complete disarray barring the individual brilliance in this mega event. After winning their first game against Afghanistan, they have lost five matches on the trot and will be desperate to take their points tally to 4 now. They have come up with insipid performances in all facets of the game that have hurt them badly. The Tigers are coming into this match on the back of a massive loss at the hands of Netherlands at the same venue.

Pakistan, on the other hand, might have registered just one win so far, but they have impressed many with their performances. In the last match, South Africa defeated Pakistan by one wicket in a thrilling match. With this defeat, Pakistan's hopes of making it to the semi-finals are almost over. Now she will play in this match only to save her reputation.

Clearly, both team have nothing to lose and with the kind of cricket they are playing, they certainly shouldn’t be taken lightly.
