Pakistan's World Cup 2023 campaign is at crossroads as they face Bangladesh on Tuesday. The two Asian teams, once part of the same entity, lock horns at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Bangladesh and Pakistan both are on the verge of elimination. The Tigers are langushing at 9th place with just two points after six matches. The Pakistanis are placed 6th having just 4 points after six matches.

Pakistan and Bangladesh don't have any injury concerns ahead of their match, but there is plenty to think for either when it comes to choosing their playing eleven.
Pakistan would have considered themselves unlucky after their defeat at the hands of South Africa. They had the upper hand for a long time but ended up losing as they failed to get the final wicket. And against Bangladesh, it looks likely that Babar Azam will continue with the same team.
Bangladesh have lost five in a row and the latest one was a humbling one at the hands on Netherlands. With their semifinal hopes almost gone, Shakib Al Hasan may bring some new faces in the team. Young pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib may get a game in place of Mustafizur Rahman.
