BAN vs PAK Dream11 6th Warm-up Match Prediction | Bangladesh vs Pakistan ICC World Cup 2019
Pakistan’s final warm-up game before they head into the main matches of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be against Bangladesh who impressively finished among the quarter-finalists in the last edition of this mega-event.
That was their best effort in the history of ICC Cricket World Cup when they knocked out England to clinch a quarter-final berth. They would be aiming to put up an even better show this time around and turn the tables.
Pakistan, on the other hand, will be looking to shrug off their humiliating loss which they suffered against Afghanistan in their first warm-up game of the tournament. It was an upset for sure as the 10th ranked ODI side in the World pummeled the 6th ranked side.
