Asia Cup 2018: Pakistan Probable playing 11 against Bangladesh

All-Rounders

Shadab Khan

Shadab will need to be on target for Pakistan against Bangladesh after being toothless on Sunday

Pakistan's spearhead in the spin department comes in at 7. Armed with a ripping leg break and a deceptive googly, Bangladesh will have trouble with the 19-year-old. Although he went wicketless in his last outing (0/54), he has the ability to remain economical. His batting is a plus as well.

Mohammad Nawaz

The UAE, where pitches wear down and become dusty, is heaven for spinners. Selecting 6 pacers for the Asia Cup certainly raised some eyebrows, but the scarcity of spinners in the Pakistan camp allows for slow left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz to come into play.

In his first match against Afghanistan, Nawaz picked up 3/57, making the best use of a spinning pitch. In a tournament where spinners have dominated time and time again, Pakistan needs multiple spinners in their lineup, and Nawaz is ideal for the spot.
