9 wicket humilation vs New Zealand.

What changes can we expect for the game vs Bangladesh?

I suspect Khushdil will come in for sure - no other changes expected!
 
1) Babar
2) Shan
3) Haider
4) Shadab
5) Asif
6) Iftikhar
7) Haris (wk)
8) Nawaz
9) Wasim
10) Naseem
11) Hasnain

Need to rest Rizwan and no need to bring back Rauf yet. I'd also like to see Masood being given a chance to open and Haider, Shadab and Asif should be given enough time in the middle to find some sort of rythym.
 
Please no Naseem, Rauf, Rizwan and even Shadab. Need to balance their workload.

Give chances to other players.
 
Management as usual play their best XI in this match and in final they will bench key players due to injury.. They will not do any experiment in case it may backfire them and will play safety frst.
 
They don't seem to have a lot of batting options in the squad other than whoever has played. Anyway rest the main players especially Rizwan and Rauf. Play M Haris, give Khushdil a game if they want.
 
Hopefully RizBar will be untied tomorrow team should be

Shan
Haider
Iftikhar
Nawaz
Shadab(c)
Asif
Haris
Khusdil
WasimJr.
Naseem
Dahani

Tomorrow is one of the most useless game Pakistan has ever played not only in context of series but also fitness and toil let's give everyone a chance and it is ideal for Saqlian and Moyo because for games like these no strategy req

Yup.

Even Saqlain and Muhammad Yousuf can play. Yousuf can treat it as a farewell game.

Bangladesh are now so bad in T20 that they may lose to retired veterans.
 
Fingers crossed for Harris to play and open the innings with Haider

What is there to lose??
 
Since Babar and Rizwan are going to play anyways, here is a middle ground which would be a fantastic way to throw the opposition off.

It was in 1936 and 1937 in the 3rd test vs England when uncovered wickets were the norm.

Australia batted first and scored 200-9 and declared as the wicket started getting worse.

England collapsed from 68 for 3 to 76-9 and duly declared to have a second crack at Australian batsmen.

It was then Bill O Reilly came out to bat. The English started laughing. And he lasted one ball. The laughter grew more racuous.

What followed was a tale of yore as Bradman batted at 7 and scored a double century as Australia won by 365 runs.

I propose Pakistan should reverse their batting order today and open with Shadab and Nawaz followed by Asif and Iftikhar and then duly any other batsmen.

Babar and Rizwan can bat at 5 or 6 just in case Pakistan collapse to 30-5 in 5 overs. But its unlikely. There is a greater chance Pakistan will end up 80-3 in 9 overs.

Then Babar and Rizwan can complete the innings.

This match is as useless at it gets.

Babar and Rizwan wont rest.

Then let them rest and watch the rest of the team chase or make runs and they can chip in when required.

Will it happen? No. Just like English laughed when Bradman reversed his batting order, everyone will laugh when I suggest this.

Unfortunately, there is no Bradman in Babar and there is no fannwilling to accept a risk like Bradman.

Hence the script is laid of Babar and Rizwan cashing in on Bangladesh and improving their T20 average and Pakistan learns nothing new in a dead rubber.

Pakistan are likely to win even if Pakistan plays their U-19 or women's team. This Bangladesh team is so horrible & is even worse then some associate teams, it's pathetic that they qualified directly for the 2022 WC while W.I & S.L have to play the qualifying tournament.

Indeed.

BD qualified thanks to those 4-1 and 3-2 home series wins against Australia and New Zealand. Those wins helped.

Also, Sri Lanka and West Indies were not consistent in T20. Sri Lanka were poor in T20 prior to Asia Cup.
 
I laughed alot lol chacha iftikhar and shan in current t20 format, brainless selections.

Imad was way way better selection than chacha. I am done with pak management.
 
New cricket board is destroying the world audience by having the game start at 3 pm local time.

Zero chance for me to watch the game from UK. Likewise poor timing for the Indian subcontinent viewers.

Poor timing for North American viewers too.

This game starts at 10 PM at my place (EST).

Such over confidence and that too about this Pak team, Chill man you don't know this team when they are in that kind of self destruction mode can lose to Uganda under 19, or a team made of sticks they are that expert in self destruction plus they play at level of opposition, on more serious note this management is so pathetic and insecure they will try nothing out of routine and ordinary even in this most inconsequential match.

I have zero confidence in Pakistan team but I have full confidence in Bangladesh being a minnow but my point was this match doesn't matter so Pakistan should make some changes to the team even if Bangladesh wins it what's the point of that win.
 
Would love to see Babar and Rizwan rest.

Star with

Haris
Shan
Haider
Iftikhar
Asif
Kushdil
Shadab
Nawaz
Waseem
Hasnain
Dahani

Dead rubber, should give the bench a game and ask them to go play as they like, just win. Good practice and one they should take since they are qualified for the final. Makes no sense to stat pad in a dead rubber, others have more points to prove. Only way to test them for WC pressure situations.
 
Haider
Asif
M Harris (wk)
Shadab (c)
Nawaz
Khushdil
Iftikhar
Junior
Naseem
Hasnain (if fit)
Dahani (last chance)
