Pakistan and Bangladesh will lock horns with each other in a dead rubber at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Thursday, October 13. 

With the final already being decided between New Zealand and Pakistan, there is nothing more than pride at stake for Bangladesh. The Shakib Al Hasan-led outlet has failed to click as a unit and remained winless in the tri-series after playing three matches. 

Pakistan, on the other hand, has fared well, winning two of their three matches and securing a berth in the summit clash. They lost their most recent fixture against New Zealand by nine wickets and will be looking for a swift turnaround. 

Key Players

  • Babar Azam: The Pakistan skipper has led the batting charge from the front and accumulated 122 runs in three matches at an average of 61 and a strike rate of 120.79. He is the leading run-scorer for Pakistan in the tri-series. 
  • Mohammad Rizwan: The Pakistan wicket-keeper batter has garnered 98 runs in three innings at an average of 49 and a strike rate of 124.05. Earlier, he clobbered an unbeaten 78 off 50 balls against Bangladesh.
  • Shakib Al Hasan: The Bangladesh captain was sensational against New Zealand and whacked the quality bowling attack of the Kiwis to notch up 70 runs off just 44 balls. Overall, he has scored 86 runs in two matches. 
  • Mohammad Wasim: The young pacer is the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan in the tri-series. He has taken five wickets in three matches at an average of 12.6 and an economy of 6.3.

Pitch Report  

The surface at Hagley Oval offers a lot of assistance to the bowlers. After witnessing four back-to-back low-scoring matches, New Zealand finally managed to breach the 200-run mark. We can expect a balanced track once again on Thursday and the team winning the toss should ideally look to chase.
