Match Preview
PAK vs BAN: Group 2 will take the field on the final day of the group stages of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2022. The second game will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh on 6th November 2022. The match will be played at Adelaide Oval.
Pakistan has kept its semi-final hopes alive after a thumping win over South Africa. In a rain-hit game, Shadab Khan’s all-round performance switched the momentum in a jiffy. The revised target was 78 runs off 30 deliveries, which understandably the Proteas failed to clinch. Pakistan has to win this game anyhow and also hope for other match results to go in their favor.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, is eliminated from the tournament following their loss against India in their previous fixture. After being in control initially, the rain break proved costly for them. After the match resumed, Bangladesh crumbled under pressure and lost wickets in a short interval. They needed 20 off the last over, but Arshdeep Singh’s top-notch yorkers foiled Bangladesh’s plan. They can now spoil Pakistan’s party and end the tournament on a high.

Match Predictions for PAK vs BAN
Pakistan is the probable winner of this fixture. Post a heartbreaking loss against Zimbabwe, they have come stronger as a team. The problem for them is that they fail to step up as a whole batting unit. If the openers charge up, then the middle order collapses, and vice versa. They need to stand as a whole unit, not just a couple of guys doing the job for them. Afridi entering the wickets tally is positive news for them. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has its pride as a team at stake and can foil Pakistan’s plans for the semi-final. A cracking contest is on the cards.
