Pakistan vs Bangladesh in a hypothetical five match ODI series - Who would win?

[Ellipsism]

We're on cloud 9 right now, all we need is a good as* whooping and we'll come back to reality. Just like after we reached the #1 ranking in tests.

In all seriousness I think it will be a lot closer than a 5-0 margin.

 

[ManFan]

It would be either 4-1 or 5-0. Bangladesh simply does not have the bowling required to compete with other teams.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

4-1 to Pakistan. This Pakistan team is extremely improved and has genuine sloggers who can accelerate any time at will. Pakistan is going through rapid transformation like England. Bangladesh despite their improvement is still a lower tier ODI team.

 

[BDwarriors]

Pakistan fans forgetting that pakistan almost lost the warmup match without fahim ashrafs slog.

 

[ManFan]

key word: almost

 

[cricketerB94]

Pakistan fans forgetting that pakistan almost lost the warmup match without fahim ashrafs slog.

Bangladesh almost lost the match without Tamim's century. What is the point?

 

[cricketerB94]

We will only get to know after these teams play a series. In cricket, you cannot predict the result before the actual results.
But on current form, Pakistan will start as favorites to win the series.

 

[Syed1]

Pakistan fans forgetting that pakistan almost lost the warmup match without fahim ashrafs slog.

Define almost. You can say India almost won the CT because they reached the final but the reality was very different.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Pakistan fans forgetting that pakistan almost lost the warmup match without fahim ashrafs slog.

Pakistan has many sloggers now, Bangladesh will keep losing until they find one. Heck, Bangladesh doesn't even have regular performer outside Musfiqur and Tamim

 

[joly]

At current form 3-2 or 4-1 to Pakistan, 1 month ago 3-2 to BD or 4-1 to BD (neutral grounds)

Pak has got momentum with them as of now

 

[Shutdown Corner]

It would probably be 3-2 to either side to be honest.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Define almost. You can say India almost won the CT because they reached the final but the reality was very different.

But BD also almost beat Pakistan in the World T20 last year. They only needed another 80 runs or so.

 

[ispartan]

5-0 in favour of pak anywhere anytimerby

 

[BDwarriors]

Bangladesh almost lost the match without Tamim's century. What is the point?

A century from opener and slog from tailender is different.

 

[BDwarriors]

Pakistan has many sloggers now, Bangladesh will keep losing until they find one. Heck, Bangladesh doesn't even have regular performer outside Musfiqur and Tamim

With sloggers you cant win always. Sabbir is also a slogger. People wanted to through azhar and hafiz out till they performed in CT.

 

[BDwarriors]

Define almost. You can say India almost won the CT because they reached the final but the reality was very different.

That was a weird example. Think something better.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Pakistan should win 3-2 or 4-1. Bangladeshi bowling looks extremely weak at the moment.

 

[Khwaja]

Seriously Pakistan just won 4-0 against the best sides in champions trophy!! In the most trashin way possible!! What makes you think they will loose to BD?

Cos Fizz.

 

[Ellipsism]

Cos Fizz.

A SR of 50, some bowler eh?

 

[Coconut]

Lot depends on the venue. If the match is in mirpur Bangladesh will crush Pakistan and outcome will be 5-0 or 4-1 in favor of Bangladesh.

But if it's in UAE pak will win the series 4-1 or 3-2.

 

[Coconut]

A SR of 50, some bowler eh?

Which bowler has the strike rate of 50??

 

[Executioner]

3-2 to either side me thinks.

Pakistan will have the confidence tho but in subcontinent Bangladesh are more than just pushovers.

 

[cricketerB94]

A century from opener and slog from tailender is different.

At the end, he was part of the team. If the tailender contributes in winning matches more than an opener then I will take the tailender over that opener any day.

 

[explayer]

5-0 to pakistan. Pakistan just won 4 games in a row against top teams. this pak team is different to one which visited bangladesh last time.if we can beat SA england india easily then bangladesh is no match. they were lucky to have washouts to reach semis

Pak was lucky too. Pakistan has different levels depending in which teams shows up.

Team coming into CT trophy--BD would beat 4-1

Team in group stage--BD would beat 3-2

Team in Knockout--Pak would win 5-0.

 

[ManFan]

Pakistan would beat Bangladesh any time in their history except when Azhar was captain. History proves this.

This may be true at times, but it's bizarre to attribute the team's "different levels" to "luck". This Champions Trophy display was just them showing the strength of character to stand up when it mattered most, and they deserve full credit for it.

 

[Aman]

3-2 either way in SC.

Outside SC , 4-1 Pakistan.

In CT Pakistan peaked at the right time.

Tournaments are all about peaking. England peaked too early and couldn't sustain it while NZ, Aus and SA had little going into the tournament.

True. I only truly started believing when I saw what we did to England, as I was certain they would cruise past us into the final after their win over Australia. That was when I realised that this team may be capable of achieving something truly special.

Stop overselling BD. BD of 2017 is a highly mediocre side compared to the BD of 2015.

This is BD's CT:

1. Demolished by England.
2. Rain saved them by the skin of their teeth against Australia.
3. Played well against NZ
4. Boys vs men type scene against India.


Compare that to Pak's CT:

1. Humbled by India.
2. Comprehensively beat number one ranked South Africa.
3. Scrapped through against SL.
4. Taught tournament favourite England how to play cricket.
5. Dished out largest margin of tournament final defeat to India.


There is absolutely no comparison between Pakistan and Bangladesh. I'm sorry but you are being highly delusion. BD had just ONE victory in the tournament while Pakistan had four knockout matches on the trot and the only time we were troubled was when we stumbled against SL. The rest of the time it wasn't even a contest.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I think the form Pakistan is in right now I think they can take Bangladesh right now. The players seem to be playing well, the morale is high. 3-2, 4-1,5-0 who knows but Pakistan would be favourite

 

[BDwarriors]

At the end, he was part of the team. If the tailender contributes in winning matches more than an opener then I will take the tailender over that opener any day.

As if tailenders win matches on regular basis....

 

[Aman]

Honest question, when was the last time Pakistan swept anyone in an ODI series?

It's not easy to sweep a side unless you're vastly superior to them.

 

[bujhee kom]

As if tailenders win matches on regular basis....

Bro your logic is poor and is making the PP BD contingent look bad.

In CT their performance stomps ours. Lets be honest.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Honest question, when was the last time Pakistan swept anyone in an ODI series?

October last year.

 

[Aman]

October last year.

Against?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Against?

West Indies in the UAE.Under Azhar's captaincy.

 

[Aman]

West Indies in the UAE.Under Azhar's captaincy.

WI are dropping ODIs to Afghanistan nowadays, this isn't a surprise.

 

[ManFan]

Doesn't matter. Pakistan beat them in T20's 3-0, ODI's 3-0 and Test 2-1. They lost a dead rubber Test at Sharjah. The West Indies had just won the World T20 Cup and beaten India in Florida where they made 250 odd. So it was a comprehensive whipping.

WI since that series...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

If we play our strongest team, Bangladesh will struggle to win one because of their bowlers.

 

[ManFan]

They've lost 2 and won 4. It's not the teams fault that the selectors continue to not pick their best players.

Now even WI is world class team because pak has beaten them....

 

[BDwarriors]

Bro your logic is poor and is making the PP BD contingent look bad.

Why is my logic poor? Since when a team depends on the slog of tailenders in their gsme plan? And am not questioning their performance. Some fan trying to advertise as if none team had any chance against Pak in CT or Pak were unbeatble.

 

[cricketerB94]

As if tailenders win matches on regular basis....

Neither does an opener.

 

[Ahmed4472]

Pakistan 3-2 anywhere

 

[BDwarriors]

Neither does an opener.

in the game plan does.

 

[cricketerB94]

in the game plan does.

So does an all rounder or as you want to say tailender. Why play any player when he have no role in a win?

It doesnt matter who makes the runs in tne final analysis. They won, we lost.

 

[ManFan]

Never said they were. Just said they were beaten comprehensively. Not our fault they keep changing players every tour.

 

[BDwarriors]

So does an all rounder or as you want to say tailender. Why play any player when he have no role in a win?

In a plan they dont consider the best result from tailender before the openers that he will bat well than the pure batsman. A tailender contributes more in bowling part.

 

[BDwarriors]

Never said they were. Just said they were beaten comprehensively. Not our fault they keep changing players every tour.

Yet you found so many excuses when BD won ...

 

[Suleiman]

3-2 either way in SC.

Outside SC , 4-1 Pakistan.

SC is accurate.

Outside SC think you're being kind, all depends on when whether we bat 1st or 2nd. BD are capable of putting up 300, and I don't think Fakhar will click everytime to give us that impetus.

If we can nearly botch it vs SL why can't we do that vs BD?

But I think if we choose our best possible XI then it's doable.

 

[ManFan]

BD won but they won against weak teams. They played against better teams and lost. Do I make excuses for the 4-1 drubbing Pakistan got against England and Australia? No because they got outplayed.

 

[cricketerB94]

In a plan they dont consider the best result from tailender before the openers that he will bat well than the pure batsman. A tailender contributes more in bowling part.

In a plan, they consider best result from every player.
Don't want to argue more on this with you. Your logic is just out of this world.

 

[BDwarriors]

Don't want to argue more on this with you. Your logic is just out of this world.

So everybody was expecting the score which fahim played at that day? There is a difference between best result and exceptional result. Best result is expected upon the potential of players fow which they are known. Instead fahim if it were shahid afridi, it can be expected.

 

[BDwarriors]

BD won but they won against weak teams. They played against better teams and lost. Do I make excuses for the 4-1 drubbing Pakistan got against England and Australia? No because they got outplayed.

The so called weak teams was their best 11 and in rank above BD that time. None thought those team as weak before BD won it. After BD won, all of sudden those team became weak! And i can say the samething that Pakistan was weak that time and not outplayed by england and australia.

I did not oversell BD. If Pak is so much better than BD why are they only 1 pt ahead in rankings?

Pak is lucky that Perera dropped that catch. Otherwise they would been 194/8 chasing a meagre 236 against an againg Malinga. It is an incosistent team that only performs when bowlers fire from all cylinders.

I only stated the obvious not being delusional. If anything you are being delusional thinking Pak is like Aus or something.

The real test will be WC 2019, when the format is round robin which requires consistency to progress into Semis.

 

[Sachin136]

They've lost 2 and won 4. It's not the teams fault that the selectors continue to not pick their best players.

All the best ODI players for WI are being picked.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

What bowling pitches you are talking about??? 300 was being scored regularly and by all teams expect when facing Pakistan.


Pakistan has the best bowling attack on the face of this planet and it is very, very well rounded as well. On English pitches the pace trioka has more say while on Asian pitches guys like Imad, Shadab and Hafeez will be match winners.


Bangladesh are absolutely no match to this Pakistani side.

Bangladesh are absolutely no match to this Pakistani side.
