Match 41 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will see Pakistan take on Bangladesh on Sunday, November 6. The Adelaide Oval will host this Group 2 fixture.
Pakistan are still in the race to qualify for the semi-finals. They lost their first two fixtures but turned the tables around to win the next two to stay alive in the competition. They beat South Africa in their last fixture, which was a rain-marred contest.
Batting first, Pakistan posted a mammoth 185 on the board, thanks to fifties from Iftikhar Ahmed (51) and Shadab Khan (52). The bowlers then stepped up and restricted the Proteas to 108/9 in their quota of 14 overs to win the game by 33 runs on the DLS method.
Shaheen Afridi picked up three wickets, while Shadab also chipped in with a couple of scalps. They will be high in confidence and will look to repeat their performance against Bangladesh on Sunday.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, have four points to their name. They have managed to win only two games and have lost as many so far and will have to win their next game to seal a spot in the semi-finals. They lost to India in their previous game.
Bowling first, the bowlers struggled a bit as India set a target of 185. Hasan Mahmud picked up three wickets but was on the expensive side. Litton Das scored a fantastic 60 off just 27 balls at the top of the order but a lack of contributions from the other batters resulted in them falling short by five runs of the revised target. They will have to fire in unison against the high-flying Pakistan.
