Against more competent teams Hasan Ali, Shadab, and Faheem would get tonked all over the place.

True but then Pakistan doesn't have the luxury of having players who can play modern day cricket on the sidelines.

Samad, Irfan have yet to prove themselves they've not done enough even in domestic let alone doing it in international.
 
Jaker Ali is a sign that Bangladesh Cricket is catching up to modern day Cricket. He's off the old school Asif Ali type striker. Going deep to hit down the ground.

There was another player that impressed me. His name I think was Yasir Ali. @sweep_shot Can you tell me about him? What is he up-to in Cricket? How's he doing? I thought he had potential.

He lost form. Also, his averages were poor. So, he was dropped.

Fahim, Hasan, Shadab, & Khushdil do not belong at this level.

Personally I don't rate Farhan at all but it'll be unfair to dismiss him just yet but to me he looks like a player who is mentally not strong. Abrar is also not a quality cricketer & there is nothing mysterious about this bowling or batting.

Haris, Abbas, Agha, & Hassan have potential but they are unproven & Abbas needs to develop his batting skills before he can be considered as a serious prospect.

Saim is the only one who I rated but his post injury return hasn't been of any note.

Win or lose, the team is as ordinary as it can be.

Hassan is the exceptional case. Such maturity at such young age and short career. He also doesn't take much pressure and actually thrives.

Samad and Irfan have enough talent that if they work hard. They should be able to make it to Pakistan white ball Cricket for the long term.

Shadab's downfall has been sad. He was really an asset to Pakistan. His all round skills and he operated as a complete bowler in sub continent conditions. We never had to worry about a no. 7 all rounder. Nawaz in the mix was good too for the time being. Though I rate Imad as the better left arm spinner.

Pakistan will need a genuine all rounder at 7 for WT20. Faheem I don't see him cutting for the role anymore and if it's a pace bowling all rounder then most likely it will mean pakistan will have to play 2 pacers + 2 spinners. Which I don't see it happening. So a spin all rounder is of the at most need.

Hopefully they won't go the route of part timers. Thinking oh we have Khushdil, Salman and Saim. Together they can bowl 4-8 overs in every game. This will backfire. Like it did in CT25.

Agreed on Shadab. His bowling & fielding have gone downhill & he was never a really proper batter to begin with. Fahim is an absolute nothing cricketer in my opinion in white ball cricket.
 
You can sense how desperate Ramiz is for Pakistan to lose this
 
They shared an unbelievable stat

Pakistan crossed 60+ twice in 3 years from 2021-2023

And 6 times from 2024 onwards
 
This Was Highest Total for Bangladesh Against Pakistan in T20Is

196/6 – Lahore, 2025
175/6 – Pallekele, 2012
173/6 – Christchurch, 2022
164 all out – Lahore, 2025
 
Shadab and khushdil batting are chink in armour, they will lose us this match. Irfan niazi is better bet.
 
I think BD bowlers are making a mistake by bowling leg-side against Haris. Haris is very strong on the leg-side.

Need to bowl a 4th stump or 5th stump line.
 
First 50 for Haris in T20 internationals. Love that he is starting to string together consistent performances. Solid player and players with SR abilities like him need to be backed.

Feels great to see Saim doing well too after struggling last couple of games.
 
An alright innings out of form tbf

Still better than what to expect from Babar and Rizwan
 
Muhammad Haris has a stellar record at no 3. Don't know why hes poor at opening.

This dude had a solid run at no 3 in 2022 wc as well.
 
Pakistan should win comfortably. Probably with 2 overs to spare.

BD needed 220 here.
