The second T20I between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be played on November 20 (Saturday) in Dhaka. The match is scheduled to begin at 1:30 pm IST.

Teams Status

Pakistan

The first match was going as most matches in Bangladesh go, with the home side threatening to defend a small total but Pakistan somehow dug deep to get home and establish a 1-0 advantage in the series.

Their bowlers were excellent for the most part but lost way in the final five overs, or the target would have been even smaller than 128.

The tourists were not at their full strength in the opening T20I, and the hard-fought win in that game has given them more room to experiment in the second match.

It means we can expect names such as fan-favourites Shanawaz Dahani and Sarfaraz tomorrow.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh had a horror start to the series and their innings and at one point in the 1^st T20I, they were languishing at 61-5. The experience of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakibal Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, and Soumya Sarkar was definitely missed. It needed an impressive late push for them to even get to 127-7.

In the second innings, the Tigers’ plan was clear: keep it simple and let the wicket do its job.

The poor state of the wicket was heavily criticized by the Pakistani media, but to be honest their batters should have blamed themselves rather than the wicket as most of their dismissals were self-manufactured, except for maybe Mohammad Rizwan’s.

In just one game, the Tigers have known that they are overmatched against Pakistan. Their team is young and new and is missing a series of regulars. The best they can do is stick to their strengths.

What Do the Sportsbooks Say?

Brand	Pakistan	Bangladesh
	1.30	3.50
	1.33	3.40
	1.33	3.45

Pakistan are the favourites for this fixture. Parimatch has Pakistan priced at 1.30 and Bangladesh at 3.50. Sportsbet has Pakistan available for 1.33 and Bangladesh for 3.40. Lastly, Dafabet has Pakistan priced at 1.33 and Bangladesh at 3.45.

Tip: Mohammad Rizwan to score over 23.5 runs @ 1.87

Over the past two years, there have been very few failures for Mohammad Rizwan. But on the rare occasion, he has failed, he has bounced back the very next game with a monster inning. Rizwan scored only 11 in the series opener and knowing Rizwan, he’d be super keen to make up for that setback. The odds have been sourced from Parimatch.

Tip: Afif Hossain to score over 14.5 runs @ 1.87

Full disclosure: We at Betninjas are fans of the young Afif Hossain. He can be a star in the making as he showed in his 36-run knock against difficult opposition and on a tricky wicket. Some of the shots he played were delightful. We expect him to do the same in the second T20I tomorrow. The odds have been sourced from Parimatch.

Conclusion

Bangladesh have missed their chance, Pakistan will most likely go for the kill now. The odds are short on them so we won’t touch them but we expect the series to be over tomorrow.
