Bangladesh vs Pakistan 2nd Match
[...]

Second T20 match between Bangladesh and Pakistan is crucial today especially since Bangladesh won first game easily limiting Pakistan to just 110 runs. Pakistan batsmen must perform much better to set tough score and keep their hopes alive in series otherwise Bangladesh will win  series early.

It makes sense for team winning toss to bowl first but Pakistan might consider batting first to prove they can set good target. Bangladesh has big advantage playing at home with crowd support making them favorites to win again. It will be interesting to see if Pakistan can bounce back or if Bangladesh will seal series.

Pakistan and Bangladesh are teams of equal capacity. Among them Pakistan is much more unpredictable. They play really well in some while really bad on others. The first game is where they played bad. Except for three none of other players scored a double digit runs. Abbas Afridi, a bowler was the 2nd highest scorer. This means except Fakhar Zaman, all of the batting lineup was useless. Bangladesh knew they could chase the small target of 110 and played aggressively to achieve it.
Today too it would depend on how the Pakistan batting lineup would work. If they really play well, it would be difficult for Bangladeshi batsmen to chase it.
