Match Preview
Pakistan are set to take on Bangladesh in their next clash on October 31, Tuesday, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The 1992 champions are coming on the back of a narrow defeat against South Africa in their previous encounter in Chennai. Bangladesh, on the other hand, went down to Netherlands by a huge margin of 87 runs. While the Men in Green sit at the sixth spot, the Tigers have occupied the bottom second spot on the standings.
Babar Azam side, whose chances to qualify for the semi-final stage have become a matter of ‘ifs and buts’, received a major blow in their previous fixture. Shadab Khan was taken off the field after a head injury, and Usama Mir became the first concussion substitute in the history of the World Cup. Khan’s health update is expected to be out soon.
Toss Prediction
In the previous three clashes that they have played in the tournament, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam came on top of all the tosses. Bangladesh skipper, on the other hand, managed to win only one of the last three tosses. Considering this, we think the Bangla skipper Shakib Al Hasan will have luck by his side in the next fixture and he will come on top in the forthcoming toss war.
Win Possibility
Bangladesh and Pakistan have played 38 ODI matches against each other. Out of those 38 matches, Pakistan have come on top of 33 matches while Bangladesh managed to win only five matches. Speaking of the ongoing tournament, the Men in Green have managed to win two of six matches, while Bangladesh clinched victory in only one game so far. Considering the overall record, we think Babar Azam and Co. will defeat their rivals in the next match and extend their win tally to three.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host its second of five ODI World Cup 2023 matches as Pakistan play Bangladesh on October 31, Tuesday. Speaking of its overall record, the oldest cricket stadium in India has hosted a total of 31 ODI matches so far. The average first inning score of the venue is 236. For the forthcoming match, we think the first inning score is likely to be around 260-270, while the powerplay score will be 40-45.
