Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2022: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Pakistan will take on Bangladesh in what will be the last Super 12 match for both sides in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, November 6. South Africa's shock loss to the Netherlands means that the winner of the Pakistan-Bangladesh match will progress to the semi-finals.

Pakistan got off to a horrendous start in the T20 World Cup, losing to arch-rivals India after being in a winning position. Worse, they also stumbled against Zimbabwe by one run. While their six-wicket win over the Dutch was not convincing, they came up with a morale-boosting performance to get the better of South Africa. The win has put them in a position from where they can qualify with another two points.

Had Bangladesh beaten India in their previous game, things in Group 2 would have been a lot more jumbled up. They threatened to pull it off but, as so often in the past, faltered in the end. Shakib Al Hasan may have been constantly underplaying Bangladesh’s chances, but they are a dangerous side nonetheless on their given day.
