Pakistan will go up against Bangladesh in match no. 31 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday. Babar Azam’s side are in the middle of the table with just 4 points from their first six matches and have lost four successive matches after winning their first two games against Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
In head-to-head clashes, Pakistan have been dominant in matches between the two sides, having won 33 out of the 38 matches till date with Bangladesh winning the remaining 5 matches. Babar Azam’s side will be missing the services of vice-captain Shadab Khan, who suffered a concussion in the last game against South Africa, and will be replaced by Usama Mir in the lineup.
Opener Fakhar Zaman has regained his fitness and could be in line to replace Imam-ul-Haq, who has been struggling for form in the World Cup 2023. “The environment is great. There’s never any issue in terms of the environment. We have a wonderful group of players who are very determined, as I said before, to bring joy to their nation, play a quality, exciting brand of cricket for our fans and to make our country and our families proud of the performances that we put on the park. So, look that remains, this is a very tight group and feel free to wander down towards the dressing room and watch the training today you will see a very good vibe,” Pakistan assistant coach Grant Bradburn said.
