Bangladesh will face Pakistan in the second ODI of the three-match series on March 13 at the Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. After a convincing win in the first game, the hosts will look to continue their good form and win the series, while Pakistan will look to bounce back and keep the series alive.

Bangladesh has shown an impressive performance in the first game of the ODI series against Pakistan. The hosts won the game convincingly against Pakistan by eight wickets. The Bangla Tigers performed well with the bat and ball in hand. The hosts will look to continue the same form in the second game against Pakistan.

Pakistan will look to perform well in the second game against Bangladesh after a disappointing loss in the first game. Pakistan had a tough time in the recently concluded T20 World Cup earlier in the year and will look to perform well in the ODI format as well. A win in this match is crucial for Pakistan if they want to stay in the series.

BAN vs PAK: Pitch Report

The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium is usually known for helping spin bowlers. However, in the first match the surface had some grass, which gave fast bowlers a bit of assistance early in the game. If bowlers hit the right areas, they can still get help from the pitch. As the match goes on, the surface becomes easier for batting.
