Let's not forget the fact that Pakistan is the most inconsistent team among the full member nations. On their day, they can defeat strong teams such as India or Australia. But if things don't go their way, then they may lose out to Nepal or the United Arab Emirates. Also, the Pakistan squad is missing a number of regular players. Among the batsmen they are missing Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, while there are hardly any experienced players among the bowlers. During the first match, bowling was opened by Salman Mirza and Saim Ayub.
Pakistan team has performed relatively well in second T20I compared to first match. Bangladesh team were all out in 20 overs for 133 runs, Jaker Ali played a valuable knock for his team at a time when four wickets were down for just 28 runs. It's Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan partnership that has rescued Bangladesh batting. The target is not big but we saw Pakistani batting lineup struggling to score runs in first match. If Bangladesh can get few quick wickets then they can put Pakistani batting under pressure.
Looking at Bangladesh's innings, it seemed that Bangladesh might be all out before 100 runs in today's match, but Zaker Ali was able to take Bangladesh's score to 133 with his outstanding performance. However, Pakistan's innings are looking worse than Bangladesh's innings, especially after Pakistan's 5 wickets fall for 15 runs Pakistan is in a state of disarray. However, if Pakistan is to avoid losing the series in today's match, they must win and that is a big challenge for Pakistan because after the fall of five wickets, will Khushdil and Salman Agha be able to lead Pakistan to victory?
