Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2026

 

Pakistan begin their tour of Bangladesh of three ODIs tomorrow. This time Bangladesh will be the favourites as Bangladesh are playing at home and Pakistan is sending a squad missing several key players. These key players include Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman.

Babar Azam as we know is a world class player and should be included in any squad whether it is Twenty20, ODI or Test. Saim Ayub is a promising young player who always gives Pakistan a flying start and is an all rounder. Fakhar Zaman is the cleanest striker of the ball in Pakistan cricket team.

So Pakistani selectors are complacent and have under estimated the strength of Bangladesh cricket team. They shouldnt have taken the Bangladesh cricket team lightly.

In the end what I would like to say that Bangladesh will win this series probably by a margin of 2-1.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Super eights Twenty20 World Cup 2026

 

Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by 5 runs in another thrilling match but failed to make the Semi Finals as they had to defend the 147 runs in order to reach the semi finals instead they allowed Sri Lanka to score 207 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Hence New Zealand is in the semi finals in place of Pakistan because of having a better Net run rate.

Have to say that luck deserted Pakistan in this tournament as their match against New Zealand was washed out and Pakistan in all probability would have won against New Zealand instead they have to contend with a super eight finish.

Throughout the tournament Sahibzada Farhan scored runs and lacked support from the other Pakistani batsmen.  If other Pakistani batsmen contributed too particularly in their super eight match against England Pakistan would have reached the semi finals of this tournament.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan were unlucky not to reach the semi finals of Twenty20 World Cup 2026 because of rain playing spoil sport.

Pakistan vs England, Super Eights Twenty20 World cup 2026

 

Pakistan lost a thriller to England by 2 wickets in the super eights match of the Twenty20 world cup 2026. Pakistan are now almost out of the World cup and will need a miracle that New Zealand lose all two of their remaining two matches in order to reach the semi finals and they themselves will need to beat Sri Lanka in their last super eights match.

Harry Brook literally stole away the match and almost single handedly won this match against Pakistan. If Pakistan had taken Harry Brook's wicket earlier they would have won this match. Also in batting Pakistan scored a below par total of 164 runs with Babar Azam playing a slow innings and there was absolutely no support for the inform opener Sahibzada Farhan.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan were unlucky in this match and they fought it out right till the end.

Pakistan vs Namibia Twenty20 world cup 2026

 

Pakistan  absolutely thrashed Namibia by 102 runs to reach the super eights part of the competition. Sahibzada Farhan scored an absolutely superb century and Usman Tariq took four wickets and Shadab khan took 3 wickets in Namibia's innings.

It was a good all round performance by Pakistan and they have regained confidence after the mauling of them by India.

Pakistan group includes tough teams like England, Sri Lanka and New Zealand in the super eights part of the competition which is the group of death. I wonder whether Pakistan will be able to reach the semi finals from this tough group in the super eights.

In the end what I would like to say that Pakistan are yet to beat a top team in Twenty20 internationals in this tournament. 

Pakistan vs india twenty20 World Cup 2026

 

Pakistan has suffered a demoralizing defeat to India by 61 runs in Colombo. Pakistan are still not out of the tournament as they now need to beat Namibia in order to qualify for super eights part of the competition. i am pretty sure Pakistan have enough fire power to overcome the challenge of Namibia.

The main difference between the two sides is Ishan Kishan innings of 77 from 40 balls which literally stole the match from Pakistan. If Ishan Kishan had been dismissed early we might have been chasing a much lower total and our batting wouldnt have crumbled under pressure.

With this performance I am not so hopeful for the Pakistani team as they may reach the super eights but fail to reach the semi finals of this tournament.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan will find it very difficult to uplift themselves after this massive defeat to India.

Pakistan vs USA Twenty20 World Cup 2026

 

Pakistan after defeating USA by 32 runs are definitely in with a great chance of reaching the super eights part of the competition. They now need to beat either India or Namibia in order to reach the super eights part of the competition. They will most probably beat Namibia and might lose to India.

Sahibzada Farhan was in great form in this match alongwith Babar Azam. Infact Sahibzada Farhan played a match winning innings. In bowling Usman Tariq was brilliant taking 3 wickets for 27 runs with his unique action. 

If Pakistan continue to bat like this they definitely become favourites for the tournament title and who knows they might defeat even the mighty Indians along the way.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan took revenge from USA for defeating them in super over in Twenty20 World Cup 2024 in USA.

Pakistan vs Netherlands World Cup Twenty20 2026

 

Pakistan beat Netherlands in a thriller by 3 wickets with Faheem Ashraf saving them. If it wasnt for Faheem Ashraf's innings Pakistan would have lost this match and wouldnt have got over the line against the Netherlands.

Babar Azam and Muhammad Nawaz played slow innings which left Pakistan in a hole untill Faheem Ashraf rescued them. 

In bowling Abrar Ahmed and Muhammad Nawaz bowled economically to restrict Netherlands to a below par total of 147. Then Sahibzada Farhan played a substantial innings before Faheem ashraf's heroics.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan need to drastically improve their performance if they stand any chance against USA on 10th february.
