Pakistan will go up against Bangladesh in the 41st match of the T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval. We are heading towards the business end of the tournament. All teams are battling it out for points, each game is crucial. Pakistan are still in contention for a place in the semis but a win against Bangladesh won’t guarantee them the spot, they will have to hope for Zimbabwe to take down India. On the other hand, Bangladesh have not played to their potential but have managed to get a few victories, mathematically they still have a chance to make it to the next round, but looks highly unlikely.
Pakistan usually gets their best game out when the chips are down, and that was clearly seen in the game against South Africa. They lifted themselves from a precarious situation in the first innings, courtesy of a brilliant partnership between Iftikhar and Shadab Khan, the latter also bowled a terrific spell in the 2nd innings and took his team over the line. The Bangla Tigers, on the other hand, lost their previous game against India, the match went down to the wire but India held their nerve and got over the line.
