What is the pitch report for PAK vs BAN, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Match 31?
It’s a competitive surface where seamers will get maximum benefit out of it while the batters have to work hard for their runs. Netherlands successfully defended the marginal score of 229 against Bangladesh in the last game here and going with the recent result, batting seems to be a good option.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Pakistan gave their everything against South Africa and were unfortunate to lose the game by one wicket, with this defeat their semi-final hopes have taken a back seat. They managed to get 270 runs while batting first however last-moment error in their bowling proved costly as they lost the match by a close margin. Spinners hasn’t delivered to the expectations as they have to depend on their frontline seamers Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi to pick wickets. Babar Azam has shown form, scoring two consecutive half-centuries while their middle order is doing a pretty good job.
Bangladesh are in terrible form at the moment having lost 5 matches in a row. They suffered 87 runs humiliating loss against the Netherlands in their previous game on Saturday. Their batting flopped completely as they managed only 142 runs in the marginal run-chase of 229 runs, with only Mehidy Hasan Miraz showing some fight, scoring 35 runs. As of now, they are placed 9th in the standings with 2 points. It’s time to address things as they repeatedly fail to deliver in the multi-nation tournaments.
