New Zealand T20I Tri-Series, Match 6: Pakistan vs Bangladesh probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, match prediction and live streaming details

The sixth match of the ongoing tri-series will see Pakistan lock horns with Bangladesh at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday, October 13. Both teams have lost their last games and will hope to return to winning ways in the final group tie.

Bangladesh suffered a heavy defeat in their last outing against New Zealand on Tuesday, October 12. They failed to chase down 208 runs set by New Zealand, falling 48 runs short and succumbing to their third defeat in the series.

Their performances have been unsatisfactory so far in the series and they need to bounce back soon with the ICC T20 World Cup scheduled to commence in a week's time.

Pakistan, on the other hand, won the first two games of the tri-series but lost their last match against New Zealand. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have scored heavily at the top, however, the middle order has failed to back them. The Men in Green will expect their middle order to step up against Bangladesh ahead of the showpiece T20 event.
