Who will win today match between Pakistan and Bangladesh (Match 31 of ICC Men’s World Cup 2023)?

Their ODI World Cup history spans two games, where Bangladesh won in 1999, and Pakistan emerged victorious in 2019.
In the last 5 ODI matches, Bangladesh has a lead of 3-2 over Pakistan.

It is Bangladesh’s worst ODI World Cup campaign ever. They are nowhere in the context of winning a match. While Pakistan has a very mediocre spin attack, Bangladesh has a very ordinary batting lineup. The match is fully dependent on how Bangladeshi batters face the Shaheen-Rauf-Hasan pace trio. And the trio itself has the answer who will win this match.
