World Cup 2023: Expected Playing XI Of Pakistan Vs Bangladesh
Expected Playing XI Of Pakistan Vs Bangladesh:
As per the media reports, Pakistan cricket team is expected to make three changes in the playing XI for the match against Bangladesh.
It will be a do-or-die match for Pakistan in the World Cup 2023 at the Kolkata Stadium against Bangladesh, and they have to win this to keep their minor hopes alive for the semis.
The opener of Pakistan, Fakhar Zaman is now recovered and he also did batting practice in the net session. It is expected that Imam Ul Haq will be dropped against Bangladesh and Fakhar Zaman will join the team.
Another force chance will be to include Usama Mir as it is reported that Shadab Khan isn’t fully fit to play against Bangladesh. He was also replaced by Usama Mir in the last match as he was injured while fielding against South Africa.
The right-arm Pakistani pacer, Hassan Ali was out of the team due to fever and now he is also available, replaced by Muhammad Waseem who bowled brilliantly vs South Africa.
Muhammad Nawaz is also expected to be dropped from the playing XI, and it will be decided before the match whether Hassan Ali will take the field or Nawaz will make way for Salman Ali Agha against Bangladesh.
