Two teams going through the misery take each other on. Pakistan has lost four in four while Bangladesh has five losses and can only play for Champions Trophy qualification now. Pakistan are in with a chance but the complaints have started with Inzamam Ul Haq stepping down as their chief selector. New Zealand’s loss opens up a chance for them slightly and Pakistan is known to squeeze through the smallest of gaps.

PAK vs BAN Key Players

Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan went home to work with his coach only to come back and struggle again. He has not been at his best this World Cup and things have been biting back hard for him.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

Shaheen Shah has been one of if not the only Pakistan player who has looked consistently threatening. With their tournament on the line a massive burden falls on him and he will have to deliver to keep his side in the hunt.

PAK vs BAN Match Tips

Both sides are in a miserable scenario. Pakistan though is coming close to winning but not converting and could use this game to fight back on the table.
