PAK vs BAN Today Match Prediction
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Match Prediction: Pakistan’s batting is strong with Sahibzada Farhan (156 runs) and Fakhar Zaman in form, and the bowling is strong with Saim Ayub (6 wickets) and Shaheen Afridi. Their recent win (by 5 wickets over SL) will boost their confidence.
BAN’s batting lineup of Towhid Hridoy (127 runs) and Litton Das, and bowling lineup of Mustafizur Rahman (7 wickets) are effective, but their poor record against Pakistan poses a challenge.
Pakistan’s head-to-head record (7-3) gives them an edge. Some analysts have rated Pakistan as a 60% favorite.
Based on the statistics, Pakistan has a 60% chance of victory and BAN has a 40% chance. If Pakistan bats first and scores 160+, their chances will increase.
BAN needs a big innings from Hridoy and early wickets from Rahman to win. It will be a close contest, but Pakistan has the upper hand.
