Bangladesh
Pakistan
Bangladesh will enter the third ODI with strong momentum after dominating the opening match of the series at Mirpur. They completely outplayed Pakistan in that game. Bangladesh bowled Pakistan out for just 114 runs in 30 overs. Nahid Rana produced a match-winning spell and took 5 wickets, removing Pakistanβs top 5 batters. Bangladesh then chased the target in around 15 overs and sealed a comfortable win.
Pakistan will still rely on their recent ODI form. They have won 4 of their last 5 ODI matches. Bangladesh have won 2 and lost 3 in the same period. Pakistan have also held the edge in the recent head-to-head record with 3 wins in the last 5 meetings between these teams.
Bangladesh opted out of the recent T20 World Cup and will be happy to win their first series after the T20 WC. The conditions at Shere Bangla Stadium usually assist seam bowlers early and spinners later in the innings.
Mustafizur Rahman has strong experience in these conditions, and Pakistanβs batting struggled in both the previous matches, which increases his chances of taking multiple wickets again.
The betting tip is...
Mustafizur Rahman - Over 1.5 wickets

BangladeshPakistanBangladesh will take confidence from their dominant performance in the first ODI. Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz shared 8 wickets between them as Pakistan were bowled out for 114 runs. Rana will have produced a standout spell by dismissing the top 5 batters in the Pakistan lineup. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed are the experienced bowlers in the side.
The batting unit is experienced and has depth. Tanzid Hasan recently scored an unbeaten 67 from 42 balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Litton Das are key batters in the lineup. Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Afif Hossain are the main all-rounders in the side. Tanvir Islam has been their top wicket-taker in ODIs in the last year, followed by Rishad and Miraz.
Mustafizur, Nahid and Miraz are the key bowlers in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana and Mustafizur Rahman.
Pakistan will continue with a relatively inexperienced batting lineup after giving debuts to Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain and Abdul Samad in the first ODI.
Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha will need to carry the responsibility of stabilising the batting order. The batting unit bats deep until Faheem Ashraf at number eight. Sahibzada Farhan remains a key batter as per form.
The bowling unit will look for a stronger performance with a bigger total to defend. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Wasim will lead the pace attack after taking one wicket each in the previous match. Abrar Ahmed will remain the only specialist spinner, while Faheem Ashraf will provide additional spin support in Asian conditions.
Afridi, Rauf and Abrar are the key bowlers in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Agha, Hussain Talat, Abdul Samad, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi (c), Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed.
Bangladesh will enter this match after their strong performances in both the previous ODIs. Their bowling attack will again be the key factor at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Mustafizur Rahman is the most experienced bowler in this attack and will likely play an important role with the new ball and at the death.
Taskin Ahmed will provide strong support, while Nahid Rana will continue to attack the top order after his five-wicket performance in the first ODI. Bangladesh batters will bat longer once again in home conditions.
Pakistanβs batting struggled heavily in the first match after being bowled out for 114 runs. If Bangladesh bowl first again, Rahman will have a strong chance to make multiple breakthroughs.
