Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first against Pakistan at the Eden Gardens. Pakistan were given an early boost with Shaheen Afridi taking his 100th ODI wicket in the first over itself. Afridi went on to take another after which Haris Rauf got the big wicket of Mushfiqur Rahim. Pakistan were thus on top in the first 10 overs. Pakistan\’s World Cup campaign have spectacularly fallen apart ever since their match against the arch-rivals India. This has resulted in all kinds of turmoil for them back home starting with selectors being sacked to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials leaking private test messages with the captain. Amid all this comes their final chance at keeping their faint semi-final hopes alive as they face Bangladesh in match 31 of the 2023 World Cup.
Babar Azam and Co. began their campaign with a 81-run win against Netherlands, and then made it back-to-back with a six-wicket victory against Sri Lanka. But their winning run came to a shocking end, as they crashed to a seven-wicket defeat against India in their next match, followed by a 62-run loss vs Australia. In their last two matches, Pakistan crashed to defeats against Afghanistan and South Africa.
On the other hand, Bangladesh began their campaign with a win against Afghanistan. But since then, they haven\’t failed to register a single win, dropping to ninth place in the standings. Shakib Al Hasan and Co. defeated the Afghans by six wickets in their opener, but then lost to England by 137 runs in their next game. In their third match, they lost once again to New Zealand, by eight wickets. In their last three matches, they lost to India (by seven wickets), South Africa (by 149 runs) and Netherlands (by 87 runs).
Here are some key pointers around the PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023 match:
– Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first
– Shaheen Afridi took two wickets while Haris Rauf took one as Pakistan dominated the first 10 overs
– Pakistan have won 33 of the 38 ODIs they have played against Bangladesh
– Bangladesh are out of contention for the semifinals but can still qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy
– Pakistan\’s tournament has been derailed by 4 consecutive losses after they won their first two matches

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Pakistan burn a review
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Haris Rauf talks Babar Azam into taking a frankly ludicrous review. Third ball of the seventh and the umpire had turned down the LBW appeal. Back of a length and angling int Mahmudullah\’s pads, hits the top flap of the front pad. No bat involved and ball tracking shows that it was going over and down leg. It was pretty much Rauf who was talking to Babar during the discussions just after the appeal and the Pakistan captain gestured for DRS last second. He walks off shaking his head after seeing the replay. Three runs come off the second last ball of that over.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: First comes Bangladesh\’s national anthem, followed by Pakistan\’s at the Eden Gardens. A light crowd slowly building up, lots of Bangladesh fans and quite a few for Pakistan as well. It is incredibly hot so one can expect the stands to be filled up later in the day. These are two quite popular teams and folks in Kolkata won\’t be planning to give this a miss.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: What Shakib Al Hasan said
He said that the wicket looks dry. In the last game that they played here it \”was slow and there was turn\”. Shakib says that Bangladesh have nothing to lose and they have to do well in the first 10 overs and build from there. \”We haven’t been consistent enough, we have been doing bits and pieces but haven’t performed collectively and that has been disappointing. There isn’t much difference between in here and Dhaka in terms of culture so hopefully we will have some good support,\” he said.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Babar Azam\’s thoughts
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Babar admits that he would have chosen to bat first as well. There could be some swing later in it early because of moisture on the pitch. He said that Pakistan did well in the last match, a thriller that they lost to South Africa. \”I am also waiting for a big innings, I will try to convert into a hundred. Three changes, Imam, Shadab and Nawaz out. Fakhar, Salman and Usama in,\” he said.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: The spinner all rounder has been a shadow of the player he had been in all the major tournaments Pakistan played in last year. He had been replaced by a concussion substitute in Pakistan\’s last match at the start of South Africa\’s chase. If he continues to face problems, Usama Mir could be brought into the squad.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Shakib was a machine with the bat in the 2019 World Cup but he has hardly been even a fraction of that this year. The Bangladesh captain has scored just 56 runs in four innings and has taken six wickets.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: A World Cup to forget thus far for Babar
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: An average of 34.50 in a tournament for any top order batter is considered fairly ok in general parlance but someone of Babar Azam\’s stature, it is pretty much an unmitigated disaster. It stands in stark contrast to the 56.72 career average that he boasts in the format which also includes 19 centuries in just 111 innings. Babar\’s scores have read 5, 10, 50, 18, 74 and 50 and he did himself no favours with the manner in which he got out in his latest innings just when Pakistan needed him to stay till the end.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: How Pakistan can still qualify for the semis
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: They currently sit four points adrift of fourth spot in seventh place and Afghanistan are fifth on six points. If Pakistan win all their three remaining games and have 10 points in their account, they need to then hope that Australia, presently placed fourth with eight points in six games, lose all their three matches against Afghanistan, England and Bangladesh. They need Sri Lanka to lose two of their remaining three matches, against India, New Zealand and Bangladesh. This will leave Australia with eight points and not allow Sri Lanka to gain more than six points. Another way is if New Zealand falters big time. The Black Caps have eight points and if they lose at least two of their remaining three matches, they can\’t go beyond 10.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Babar Azam\’s existent or non-existent phone troubles
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: It all started with rumours going around that PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf is not responding to Babar Azam\’s calls or messages. No, wait a minute, let\’s be real. It all started with the fact that Pakistan lost four consecutive matches in the tournament. Anyhow, Ashraf publicly said that these allegations were not true and Babar hasn\’t tried to contact him at all. He said that the captain usually talks to the chief operating officer or the director of international cricket and then went on to reaveal a Whatsapp conversation between Babar Azam and COO Salman Naseer. This entire saga came days after PCB put out a statement in which they basically said that they basically washed their hands off by saying that they gave Babar and chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq freedom to choose the squad as they felt that is what will benefit the team.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Shakib\’s quick little hop to Dhaka
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Most of the drama around the Pakistan squad has been based on their captain and the same can be said about Bangladesh\’s skipper. While the rest of the squad arrived in Kolkata for this game, Shakib travelled about 305km east of the city to Dhaka where he had a two-day training stint with his mentor Nazmul Abedeen Faheem. Shakib arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday afternoon, a day after Bangladesh\’s 149-run loss to South Africa in Mumbai, and went straight to the Shere Bangla National Stadium to work with Abedeen. The session reportedly lasted three hours with Shakib mainly taking throwdowns in the nets. This is the kind of thing that will be praised as sheer genius if he does well today, or a captain abdicating his responsibilities of leading the team and what not if he doesn\’t score.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Bangladesh\’s tournament thus far
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Bangladesh don\’t have the greatest of records in the World Cup but even by those standards, this has been a dismal performance. Especially considering they probably have more potentially world class or proven players in their side than arguably ever before. Bangladesh began their campaign with a win against Afghanistan. But since then, they haven\’t failed to register a single win, dropping to ninth place in the standings. Shakib Al Hasan and Co. defeated Afghanistan by six wickets in their opener, but then lost to England by 137 runs in their next game. In their third match, they lost once again to New Zealand, by eight wickets. In their last three matches, they lost to India (by seven wickets), South Africa (by 149 runs) and Netherlands (by 87 runs).

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Fakhar Zaman is now fit and Imam-ul-Haq has not been in the best of forms this Word Cup. With the kind of negativity surrounding the team at the moment, Pakistan might just go for that change, even if just to show that they tried something. Imam does have a good record against Bangladesh though. He has scores of 83, 100 and 78 in the three matches agianst them.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: Hello and welcome!
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, PAK vs BAN World Cup 2023: As far as poor form goes, Pakistan and Bangladesh have given England a run for their money. The two sides have been dismal for much of the World Cup, Pakistan ever since their third match against India, Bangladesh, well, throughout the tournament. As is often the case, off-field drama has somewhat overshadowed the teams\’ campaigns, particularly in Pakistan\’s case.
