Having played against each other in a triangular series in New Zealand right before ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Pakistan and Bangladesh will be resuming their T20I rivalry after just over three weeks in their last Super 12 match of the tournament.

Pakistan, who have won their last eight T20Is in a row against Bangladesh, had thumped them twice in Christchurch last month. The last Pakistan-Bangladesh T20I had witnessed Pakistan sealing a 175-run chase with seven wickets and a ball to spare. Additionally, Pakistan have neither lost a T20I to Bangladesh outside of Bangladesh nor lost a World Cup T20I against this opposition.
In all honesty, the penultimate match of Super 12s has a maximum possibility of being the last match of the tournament for both the teams. It will require one proper Group 2 upset (before or after this match) for the winner of this match to go through to the semi-finals (conditions apply though).
