Who will win today match between Pakistan and Bangladesh (Match 31 of ICC Men’s World Cup 2023)?

• Their ODI World Cup history spans two games, where Bangladesh won in 1999, and Pakistan emerged victorious in 2019.
• In the last 5 ODI matches, Bangladesh has a lead of 3-2 over Pakistan.

It is Bangladesh’s worst ODI World Cup campaign ever. They are nowhere in the context of winning a match. While Pakistan has a very mediocre spin attack, Bangladesh has a very ordinary batting lineup. The match is fully dependent on how Bangladeshi batters face the Shaheen-Rauf-Hasan pace trio. And the trio itself has the answer who will win this match.
