PAK vs BAN Dream11 Prediction ICC CT2025: Pakistan and Bangladesh will face each other in Match 9 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Thursday, February 27, at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Unfortunately, both teams are already out of the semi-final race after losing to India and New Zealand. This makes the match a dead rubber, but both sides will still be looking to end their campaign on a high note.
- Pakistan had a disappointing tournament, especially with their batting.
- Bangladesh showed good fight with the ball but struggled to close out games.
This is also a chance for Bangladesh to beat Pakistan in an ICC ODI tournament for the first time since 1999.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh – Head-to-Head in ODIs
- Total Matches: 39
- Pakistan Wins: 34

Pitch Report – Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
Rawalpindi usually favors batsmen, but in the New Zealand vs Bangladesh match, the pitch was slow and tricky for scoring.
- The surface had low bounce and grip, helping bowlers.
- Michael Bracewell took 4 wickets for 26 runs in the last game here.
If similar conditions continue, bowlers could have an edge again.
Dream11 Captaincy Pick – Babar Azam
- Babar Azam is the best Dream11 captaincy choice for this match.
- He showed signs of returning to form against India but couldn’t convert his start.
- His ODI record in Rawalpindi is outstanding:
- 5 innings, 335 runs, average of 83
- 1 century and 2 fifties
Against Bangladesh’s bowling attack, he might finally play a big knock.
Players to Watch Out For
1️⃣ Babar Azam – Pakistan’s best batsman, looking to make an impact.
2️⃣ Saud Shakeel – A talented middle-order player who can stabilize the innings.
3️⃣ Nahid Rana – A rising fast bowler who could trouble Pakistan’s batting lineup.
PAK vs BAN Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
Pakistan has a better overall record and home advantage. They will be eager to avoid a winless tournament in front of their fans.
PAK vs BAN Dream11 Prediction: Pakistan to defeat Bangladesh in Match 9.
