Given the tournament will not be a very long affair, both the teams would want to get acclimatized to the conditions as quickly as possible. Moreover, both the teams will also want to get their combinations right and identify the best possible playing XI before the main round comes calling.
Moreover, three of Pakistan’s four losses against Bangladesh have come in last year and a half, which gives a good account of Bangladesh’s rise in ODI cricket. This, however, will be a fresh start, a new beginning, and both teams will start from the same point. A win here will help them to gain momentum in the immensely competitive tournament.
