BAN vs PAK Dream11 Prediction 3rd T20I, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

Bangladesh have etched their name in history books with a dominating performance over Pakistan. The Bangladesh Tigers have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series and will enter the final game with their head and tails up on the 24th of July in Mirpur, Dhaka.

Bangladesh avoided a batting collapse in the last game courtesy of a valiant fifty from Jaker Ali. The wicket-keeper batter bailed out his side from 28 for 4 to a respectable 133 in 20 overs. Ali’s 55 off 48 deliveries on a sluggish wicket proved too much for Pakistan, and ultimately, the Bangladesh Tigers scripted history.

Pakistan faced a lot of criticism for dropping their senior batters Muhammad Rizan and Babar Azam ahead of this series. The new management, led by head coach Mike Hesson, opted for young and fresh talent for this series, but the decision has backfired on them. What lies in the future of Pakistan cricket looks bleak and vague, but for now they need to focus on winning the final T20I to salvage pride in this already disappointing series.

Let’s delve deeper into this post for the BAN vs PAK Dream11 prediction.

BAN vs PAK, 3rd T20I, Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka, Pitch Report

The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka is expected to be slow and spin-friendly, consistent with its black clay surface that tends to grip as the match progresses. Early in the innings, pacers may find some seam movement and bounce, but spinners are likely to dominate from the middle overs onward. Batting becomes increasingly challenging under lights due to the variable pace and turn, making stroke play difficult. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bat first to capitalize on the initial bounce and avoid chasing against spin later. With average first innings scores hovering around 144–165, anything above 175 is typically considered a strong total on this surface.

Below is a table highlighting key T20I match stats from the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka:
