Preview
Pakistan will take on Bangladesh in the 31st match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both these cricket teams are coming off multiple losses in a row at the flagship tournament, which has completely derailed their campaign. In their recent outing at the Asia Cup, Pakistan got the better of Bangladesh easily, but this result won’t have much of a bearing in their upcoming match, due to the lack of form in the ODI World Cup 2023.

Pitch Report
Analysis
The batting lineup of Pakistan has struggled to get par totals in the ODI World Cup 2023, due to the lack of decent run scoring tempo from the top order of Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, and Babar Azam, irrespective of the middle order striking it at a decent clip. The bowling attack of the Men in Green hasn’t been able to find wickets in the first powerplay stage, despite the presence of Shaheen Afridi, allowing the opposition teams to put big totals on the board.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh batting lineup had their worst performance of the tournament against Netherlands, getting bundled out for 142 within just 43 overs in a run chase. Earlier in the same match, the bowling of the Tigers were very decent, with the likes of Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shakib Al Hasan, among others finding themselves in the wickets.
