PAK vs BAN Dream11 prediction Champions Trophy: Who Wins?

PAK vs BAN Dream11 prediction Champions Trophy: This is the first dead rubber of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, as both Pakistan, the hosts, and Bangladesh are knocked out of the semi-finals race with both teams conceding losses to India and New Zealand. It will be played on Thursday in Rawalpindi.

It’s quite a thing that Pakistan had waited for 29 years to host a major ICC event, and they are out of the race to the next round even before playing their last group game. They have been underwhelming, especially with the bat, in both their losses.

Bangladesh, who showed some promise with the ball in both games, would fancy their chances to beat Pakistan in an ICC ODI event for the first time since 1999.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh pitch report:

Generally, the Rawalpindi surface is flat and batting-friendly. However, in the New Zealand vs Bangladesh game, it helped the bowlers with its tackiness, slowness, lowness, and grip. Michael Bracewell took four wickets for only 26 runs.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:

Pakistan opener Babar Azam is our recommended Dream11 captain for this match against Bangladesh. Babar looked to be gaining his fluency against India as he creamed five boundaries in his 26-ball stay but couldn’t carry it for long. Against Bangladesh, he might finally end his drought. In ODIs, Babar has a thunderous record in Rawalpindi: 5 innings, 335 runs, an average of 83, one century, and two fifties.
