Team Previews

Pakistan Preview

Pakistan had a disappointing campaign, suffering consecutive defeats against New Zealand and India, which sealed their fate in the tournament. Their most recent defeat came against India, where they lost by six wickets despite batting first and scoring 241 runs.

While Saud Shakeel played a solid knock of 62 off 76 balls, the rest of the batting lineup failed to capitalize on good starts. Mohammad Rizwan (46 off 77) and Khushdil Shah (38 runs) contributed, but the strike rates were underwhelming, leading to a below-par total.

The bowling unit struggled once again, failing to defend 242 runs. Shaheen Afridi was the only bowler who made an impact, picking up two wickets for 74 runs in eight overs. Abrar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah chipped in with a wicket each, but overall, the attack lacked penetration and consistency.

Pakistan’s Batting Lineup

With semi-final hopes gone, Pakistan might tweak their lineup.

• Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq will open.
  • Babar has scored 1,293 runs in the last 32 ODIs at an average of 44, with two centuries and 11 half-centuries. However, his record against Bangladesh isn’t great (30 average).
  • Imam has 606 runs in 17 ODIs in the last two years, with six half-centuries.
• Saud Shakeel will continue at No. 3, aiming to build on his 62-run knock against India.
• The middle order will see Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, and Khushdil Shah in action.
  • Rizwan has been Pakistan’s most consistent batter in ODIs over the last two years, amassing 1,325 runs at an average of 57.60, including two centuries and seven fifties.
  • Salman Agha boasts the best strike rate (105) among Pakistani batters in the last 10 ODIs.

Pakistan’s Bowling Attack

Pakistan’s bowling unit has underperformed, managing only nine wickets in two matches.

• Shaheen Afridi remains the key bowler, having picked 65 wickets in 32 ODIs over the last two years.
• Haris Rauf has taken 55 wickets in the same period and has a good record against Bangladesh (six wickets in two games).
• Abrar Ahmed will continue in the playing XI, having 15 wickets in nine games with an economy of 4.7.

With nothing to play for but pride, Pakistan will hope to end their Champions Trophy campaign on a high.

Bangladesh Preview

Bangladesh has been struggling in ODIs, losing 11 of their last 15 matches. Their most recent defeat came against New Zealand, where they lost by five wickets despite posting 236 runs on the board.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was the standout performer, scoring 77 off 110 balls. Jaker Ali (45 runs off 55 balls) and Rishad Hossain (26 runs) also contributed, but the overall batting effort lacked firepower.

The bowlers couldn’t defend 237, with Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain, and Nahid Rana picking up one wicket each. However, the attack lacked the bite needed to win games.

Bangladesh’s Batting Lineup

• Najmul Hossain Shanto will open with Tanzid Hasan.
  • Shanto has been in good form, scoring 414 runs in the last eight ODIs at an average of 59.
  • Tanzid will look to improve on his 24-run knock against New Zealand.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz might come in at No. 3, depending on whether Soumya Sarkar plays.
  • Miraz has 323 runs in his last 10 ODIs and provides an all-round option with his off-spin.
• Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, and Jaker Ali will form the middle order.
  • Hridoy has been Bangladesh’s most consistent batter, scoring 984 runs in the last 31 innings.
  • Mushfiqur Rahim has been reliable, averaging 37 in the last two years.
  • Mahmudullah is one of the few players in this squad with an average above 40 in ODIs.
  • Jaker Ali has been the most consistent of all, scoring 264 runs in seven matches at an average of 52.

Bangladesh’s Bowling Attack

Bangladesh’s bowling unit has failed to make a big impact in this tournament.

• Taskin Ahmed will lead the attack, having picked up 16 wickets in the last nine ODIs.
• Mustafizur Rahman has been impressive, taking 10 wickets in just four games last year and nine wickets in three matches against Pakistan.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz will play a crucial role in controlling the middle overs. He has picked nine wickets in the last 10 ODIs.

With the semi-final race out of reach, Bangladesh will aim to end the tournament on a positive note.
