PAKISTAN vs Bangladesh: Match Prediction
This is going to be the first match of the T20I series Tri-Series between Pakistan – New Zealand – Bangladesh 2022 where Pakistan will go head to head against Bangladesh to kick start what promises to be a competitive tournament between the three sides. Pakistan is devoid of match practice. They have played fourteen T20Is in 2022 thus far against Australia and India and in both instances, they faced defeat. They even lost to England in the recently concluded T20I series. Babar Azam and his men will be ready to take on Bangladesh in the first game of the series.
Bangladesh on the other hand are going through bit of a dip in the form of their team. They weren’t good in their Asia Cup campaign either. Shakib-Al-Hassan and his men will be looking to turn things around by doing well in this tournament.
Prediction: PAKISTAN to win.
