THE LOWDOWN
PAKISTAN
Coach: Grant Bradburn
Captain: Babar Azam
- Pakistan have fallen under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after their most recent result, an eight-wicket defeat at the hands of Afghanistan, extending their losing streak to four games and leaving them with little prospect of semi-final qualification.
- All-rounder Shadab Khan was forced off in that game with a head injury and replaced by a concussion substitute in Usama Mir, who is likely to fill in for the Pakistan vice-captain here.
BANGLADESH
Coach: Chandika Harthurusingha
Captain: Shakib Al Hasan
- Bangladesh have been on the end of some thumping defeats so far across this World Cup and their latest may well have been the worst yet, losing by 87 runs to Netherlands, the only associate nation in the group stage.
- It’s now five consecutive defeats for the Tigers, who now face a fight to qualify for the Champions Trophy with only the top seven nations in the group qualifying alongside tournament hosts Pakistan.
THE PREDICTION
Two teams with no momentum in their favour, with question marks behind the scenes and confidence low, something must give in Kolkata. The likelihood is that the superior quality of Pakistan’s key players both with ball and bat such as Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan will end up making the difference when considering the poor standard of Bangladesh’s play in recent matches, so back Pakistan to get the better of the Tigers.
BETTING TIP: PAKISTAN TO WIN
