Team Analysis
The experienced Pakistani team holds the upper hand in this series. The biggest strength of Pakistan in this series is its strong and stable batting line-up featuring famous names like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Sarfraz Ahmed. These players are considered legends in test cricket and are known to perform consistently in this format. We can also see numerous young talent in the Pakistani squad. These include Abdullah Shafique, Kamran Ghulam, and Mir Hamza.
The Pakistani bowling line-up is quite deficient and this might prove to be one of their weakness in this series. The only two experienced bowlers in the expected playing 11 are Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah. Very few and inexperienced spin options are available which might prove to be costly for the men in green if a challenging situation arises.
The Bangladeshi squad is led by their legendary player, Najmul Hossein Shanto. Bangladesh’s biggest asset in this series is their star all-rounder, Shakib-al-Hasan. Shakib is phenomenal with bat and ball and holds the power to propel his team towards victory in case of a difficult situation. Other key impact players in the Bangladeshi squad are Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Liton Das.
