BAN vs PAK: Preview, Pitch Report and Fantasy Team for Match 41 of T20 WC 2022

This is the last day of the tournament and none of the Semi-finalists is decided yet from Group 2. November 6 features three matches and they are:

  1. South Africa vs Netherlands
  2. Pakistan vs Bangladesh
  3. India vs Zimbabwe

Here in this article, we would cover match 2 (BAN vs PAK) in detail providing a fantasy team at the end.

Pakistan and Bangladesh both need to win this match to qualify for Semifinals and would also pray for the South Africa-Netherlands game to be either washed out or for the Netherlands to win(very less chances). India losing to Zimbabwe can help Pakistan but might not help Bangladesh due to NRR.

Date and Time:- 06 November, Sunday, 9:30 AM IST/4:00 AM GMT/2:30 PM Local
Streaming Platforms:- Star Sports Network and Disney+Hotstar app and website.

Team Previews

Pakistan

They started their October month with a bang, winning a tri-series in New Zealand by defeating the hosts in the finals. But the real journey started in the first match of the World Cup where they lost the match single-handedly to Indian legend Virat Kohli.

Pakistan can’t think of any worse as they were upset by Zimbabwe in the second group match. They won their next two matches against the Netherlands and South Africa. Will the fortunes turn their way or they would go home from the Group Stage itself?

Bangladesh

Bangladesh was the third team in the above-mentioned tri-series in New Zealand and finished the series without a win.

Won against Netherlands and Zimbabwe, crushed by South Africa and lost against India in a nail-biting encounter. With 2 wins and 2 losses, they are currently positioned 4th on the points table. Bangladesh not only needs to win the match but would also pray for the result of the South Africa-Netherlands encounter going their way.

Players To Watch Out For

Shadab Khan: Batting, bowling or fielding; there is no aspect in which this man can’t win matches for his team. Shadab scored 52* of just 22 balls in a must-win match against South Africa and also clinched two important wickets.

He finished with 3/22 against the Netherlands in the previous match which helped in finishing Netherlands for just 91 runs and Pakistan got a huge boost in Net Run Rate.

In October month, he got 11 Wickets in 10 matches with an economy of just 7. Shadab needs to give one more match-winning performance to help his team win the match and let their hopes be alive.

Iftikhar Ahmed: 51 of just 34 against India and 51 of 35 against South Africa. Iftikhar performed for Pakistan in two of the most important matches and is their best batsman so far in this World Cup.

He has maintained a Strike Rate of over 130 in the last month with 197 runs which is much better than other Pakistan top-order batsmen(111, 114 and 113 of Babar, Rizwan and Masood respectively).

Shakib Al Hasan: In the previous October month, he is the second-highest scorer (198 with 135 Strike Rate) and third-highest wicket-taker (5 wickets) for Bangladesh.

Shakib has scored just 44 runs in World Cup so far. In bowling, he has 5 wickets in 4 matches with an economy near 9. Captain has to lead from the front in the last game to finish the tournament with a win. (They still have chances to qualify for Semifinals).
