Top fantasy tips for Bangladesh vs Pakistan match in ODI Cricket World Cup: Players to pick in your Dream 11 for CWC 2023 clash today
Bangladesh and Pakistan will face off in the first matchup of the seventh round of fixtures in the 2023 World Cup at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Pakistan's World Cup has quickly gone astray after the side won their first two matches against Netherlands and Sri Lanka. Four consecutive losses have left them reeling, and off-field drama has also plagued the campaign.
Bangladesh have had a similarly torrid time of things, with their solitary win in the tournament coming against Afghanistan in their opening game. Their latest match, at this same venue in Kolkata, saw them fail to chase 230 against Netherlands.

Top fantasy picks and tips for BAN vs PAK
Muhammad Rizwan: Wicket-keeper
His form has dipped slightly of late, but Muhammad Rizwan has been Pakistan's best batter in this World Cup so far.
He pulled off a rescue act in their first game with 68 against Netherlands before smashing 131* in a record run-chase against Sri Lanka. His subsequent innings of 49, 46, 8 and 31 have not been as great but a big score is almost always around the corner from Rizwan
Saud Shakeel: Batter
Coming into the tournament, Saud Shakeel was not a regular in Pakistan's ODI squad. Batting at number five in the tournament though, he has been excellent.
His partnership with Rizwan in the first game was crucial in helping Pakistan get to a good score. Since then, his quick 20s and 30s have been useful for the side, and his 52 against South Africa was another vital knock. He always scores quickly, and if he gets a hold of a couple of bowlers, he can make them pay.
Shakib Al Hasan: All-rounder
Bangladesh have had a poor World Cup so far, which hit its nadir when they lost to Netherlands on Saturday.
Despite that, Shakib Al Hasan is still a reliable choice in a fantasy XI. He missed the game against India but in all the other games he has taken at least one wicket, returning figures of 3/30, 1/52, 1/54, 1/69 and 1/37. His batting has not fired yet in this tournament, but a player of his quality cannot be kept down for long.
