All The Best to both teams

Key players to watch out

• Babar Azam (PAK): Pakistan’s premier batter, known for his consistency and ability to anchor the innings. His leadership and form will be crucial in setting up a strong total.
• Mohammad Rizwan (PAK): A dependable wicketkeeper-batter who thrives under pressure. His recent performances make him a key figure in Pakistan’s batting lineup.
• Shaheen Afridi (PAK): A lethal left-arm pacer capable of swinging the new ball. His early breakthroughs could put Bangladesh on the back foot.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz (BAN): An experienced all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball. His off-spin could trouble Pakistan’s middle order.
• Taskin Ahmed (BAN): Bangladesh’s leading fast bowler, known for his pace and accuracy. His ability to strike early will be crucial in restricting Pakistan’s batting.

Ok thanks, know reg toss. Just wanted to know if we can delay predictions till toss s over?

Hope the match takes place

Bangladesh and Pakistan National Cricket Team (Mens) can introspect what went wrong for them in this tournament

It would be quite cruel to Pakistan if their already forgettable Champions Trophy campaigns ends in a defeat to Bangladesh in Rawalpindi of all places. The venue where they stunningly lost their first Test match, and then their first Test series, to Bangladesh is where they play their final match of the tournament.

I think, both teams must be praying to get 1 point each today, instead of playing with each other.

I'll get busy and then most of the tym i forget to send

To say it has been a tournament to forget for Pakistan would be an understatement. They are the hosts, because of which they were considered favourites by former cricketers and experts to go deep into the tournament. However, not only did they lose their first two matches against New Zealand and India, they hardly ever looked capable of competing in those matches.

The defeat in the latter match has led to rumours of sackings across the Pakistan team management and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) hierarchy. Questions have been raised against the spots of the likes of Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, four of the pillars of the squad.

She said last tym you can wait till toss.. You've to send your prediction before the first ball

Captain Mohammad Rizwan has been berated for his defensive batting, particularly against India and the entire team has been accused of playing an outdated style of cricket. They can probably blunt the blow of many of these negative opinions if they can secure a decisive victory against a side that trapped them in an existential crisis after the shocking result of the Test series last year.

Bangladesh have looked just as bereft of ideas, if not more, as Pakistan. They've lost both Champions Trophy matches, which takes their unbeaten run in ODIs to five. Inconsistent batting has been a major problem, with Bangladesh's bowling attack providing the few challenges that they have been able to pose.
