Bangladesh has had a tough run in the Champions Trophy 2025, losing both of their matches and exiting the tournament early. Despite being out of contention, they will aim to finish with pride against Pakistan. The team might consider some changes to test new players and provide opportunities for young talents.
- Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan Miraz might be dropped due to poor performances.
- Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Nasum Ahmed could replace them in the final XI.
- Bangladesh seeks to end their tournament with a strong performance.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Replace Mustafizur Rahman?
Why Drop Mustafizur Rahman?
Mustafizur Rahman, one of Bangladesh’s most experienced bowlers, has failed to deliver in the tournament. He has taken just one wicket every 9.3 overs, which is far below expectations for a senior pacer. Given his struggles, the team might consider resting him.
Why Bring Back Tanzim Hasan Sakib?
Tanzim Hasan Sakib, despite an underwhelming outing against South Africa, is a young player with immense potential. Though he conceded 58 runs in 10 overs without a wicket, this match is an opportunity to gain experience. Bangladesh might prefer giving a youngster a chance over a senior player who is struggling.
Nasum Ahmed to Replace Mehidy Hasan Miraz?
Why Drop Mehidy Hasan Miraz?
Mehidy Hasan Miraz was expected to be a key player for Bangladesh, but he has struggled in both batting and bowling. He has scored only 18 runs with a strike rate of 75 and has failed to take a single wicket, conceding 90 runs at an economy of 4.50. His lack of impact might push the team to give another player a chance.
Why Play Nasum Ahmed?
Nasum Ahmed is a skilled middle-over bowler and a capable lower-order batter. His inclusion could strengthen the bowling unit while also providing batting depth. Additionally, his presence would allow Mahmudullah Riyad to play a more prominent role in the middle order.
Bangladesh’s Probable XI vs Pakistan
- Tanzid Hasan Tamim
- Najmul Hossain Shanto (C)
- Towhid Hridoy
- Mushfiqur Rahim
- Mahmudullah Riyad
- Jaker Ali
- Nasum Ahmed
- Rishad Hossain
- Taskin Ahmed
- Tanzim Hasan Sakib
- Nahid Rana
Bangladesh will be hoping to finish their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign on a high note with a strong performance against Pakistan.
