Head-to-head Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup
The gap between the teams comes from their geographical distance and their standing in the World Cup. Pakistan and Bangladesh have some serious rivalry when it comes to cricket. Both teams are stacked with international stars. Moreover, they feature the most polished cricketers and bowlers in the World Cup. Over the years, they have faced each other in nineteen matches in the ICC T20Is matches.
Out of the nineteen games played, Pakistan dominated Bangladesh with sixteen wins, and Bangladesh won the other three matches. The most memorable score made by Pakistan was 203, whereas the highest score posted by Bangladesh was 175 runs. However, 48 is the lowest total by Pakistan, whereas Bangladesh posted the lowest total of 65 runs in the marquee event, which was indeed disappointing.
Bangladesh's record is slightly unsatisfactory, especially in the T20I World Cup against Pakistan. Pakistan has a slight advantage over its competitors, having won sixteen times. Over the years, both teams have evolved drastically in their strategies, players, and tactics to win matches.
This dominance can also be seen as Pakistan has become a much more polished team over the years; however, Bangladesh is still trying hard to stand against Pakistan.
