Changes in Pakistan's Playing11? Check Pakistan Playing 11 Prediction for the PAKISTAN vs BANGLADESH 2nd ODI!

Pakistan will head into the second ODI against Bangladesh under pressure after a crushing defeat in the opening match of the series. The visitors were completely outplayed in Dhaka, and the team management could now be forced to rethink their combination ahead of the Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI.

With Bangladesh leading the series and Pakistan struggling in both batting and bowling departments, fans are eager to see whether Pakistan will make any changes to their Playing 11.

Bangladesh Dominated the First ODI

Bangladesh delivered a near-perfect performance in the first ODI to dismantle Pakistan by a massive margin. After winning the toss and bowling first, the hosts ripped through Pakistan’s batting lineup, thanks to the pace sensation Nahid Rana.

Pakistan were bowled out for just 114 runs in 30.4 overs, with Faheem Ashraf (37) and Sahibzada Farhan (27) being the only notable contributors. In response, Bangladesh comfortably reached the target in 15.1 overs with the loss of just 2 wickets, sealing an emphatic victory.

Possible Change in Pakistan Playing 11

One change that looks likely is the inclusion of Haris Rauf. The express pacer could bring additional pace and aggression to Pakistan’s bowling attack. Batting failed first in the 1st ODI as all those batters in the lineup looked rusty, but this is a series where players like these can perform without any pressure. Pakistan would hardly make any changes in the batting order. 

If Rauf returns to the lineup, the team management may have to decide whether to replace Mohammad Wasim Jr or keep him and rotate another player. Given the heavy defeat in the first ODI, Pakistan might want a more experienced pace combination alongside Shaheen Afridi.

Pakistan Predicted Playing 11 vs Bangladesh (2nd ODI)

Here is the predicted Pakistan Playing 11 for the second ODI:

• Sahibzada Farhan
• Maaz Sadaqat
• Shamyl Hussain
• Mohammad Rizwan (wk)
• Salman Agha
• Hussain Talat
• Abdul Samad
• Faheem Ashraf
• Shaheen Afridi (c)
• Mohammad Wasim Jr / Haris Rauf
• Abrar Ahmed

The key decision will revolve around whether Pakistan opts for Mohammad Wasim Jr or Haris Rauf in the pace attack.
