PAK vs BAN ODI World Cup 2023 : Pitch Report

59m and 69m side boundaries, it's 74m straight down the ground. We saw a lot of turn and bounce in the last game, but that was on a different pitch. The wicket they're playing today looks very dry with no moisture at all. It should turn a bit and bring the spinners into play. Will be a bit of a challenge for the batters, reckon Nasser Hussain and Shane Watson, in their pitch report.

PAK vs BAN ODI World Cup 2023 : Playing XI

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

Pakistan (Playing XI): Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Shaheen Afridi, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf

PAK vs BAN ODI World Cup 2023 : What Babar Azam Said?

We would also like to bat first. There might be some swing in it early on because there is some moisture in it. Last match we were good in all three departments. There was some good energy. I am also waiting for a big innings, I will try to convert into a hundred. Three changes, Imam, Shadab and Nawaz out, Fakhar, Salman and Usama in.

PAK vs BAN ODI World Cup 2023 : What Shakib Al Hasan Said?

We will bat first, looks like a dry wicket, we played the last game here, it was slow and there was turn. We have nothing to lose, we have to play well in the first 10 overs and hopefully we can go from there. We haven't been consistent enough, we have been doing bits and pieces but haven't performed collectively and that has been disappointing. There isn't much difference between in here and Dhaka in terms of culture so hopefully we will have some good support.
