In the 1st One Day International (ODI) at Dhaka, Bangladesh overwhelmed Pakistan with a victory margin of eight wickets and had 34. 5 overs remaining. The victory here was the first ODI win against Pakistan for Bangladesh since 2018. Leading by 1-0 in the three-match series, the Tigers need just a win to make it only the second time they have defeated Pakistan in a bilateral ODI series.
The second ODI will be held on March 13 at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Pakistan, on the other hand, which introduced four new players in the first match, is weak in batting, and they will need to fix this problem as well as come back with a well-planned strategy. Bangladesh probably does not have much to change, as they performed well in the first ODI, and two players who contributed a lot were Nahid Rana and Tanzid Hasan Tamim.

BAN vs PAK: Pitch Report
The Shere Bangla National Stadium offers a balanced pitch, as seen in the first ODI. The surface provides good bounce and pace, and the new ball is expected to swing early. As the game progresses, spinners can extract turn with the older, slower wicket. Bowling first could be advantageous, given the likelihood of dew affecting the second innings.
