Pakistan needed either India or New Zealand to beat England to have a shot at the semi-finals by beating Bangladesh. But none of the results went Pakistan’s way and are left with a scenario where they have to beat the Tigers by a more than 300-run margin. Nevertheless, both the teams will be looking to bow out on a high with a win and will definitely give their 100%.

Interestingly, Bangladesh have managed to keep a lid over Pakistan recently and it won’t be a cakewalk for the Men in Green by any means. This game will potentially decide the fifth best team in this World Cup and if the Tigers beat Pakistan, it will be their best effort in the mega event ever.

Pakistan are likely to be unchanged for this match while Bangladesh will be fretting over Mahmudullah’s fitness. Also, Rubel Hossain might make way for Mehidy Hasan as Pakistan have quite a few left-handers in their line-up.

Match Details

The 43rd match of the ICC World Cup 2019 will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Lord’s in London.

The match starts at 10:30 AM local time (09:30 AM GMT) (3:00 PM IST).

The game will be live on Star Sports. Live streaming available on Hotstar.


Weather Report

Well, the rains might be back. There is a 40% chance of rain during the match and there will be a shower at 11 AM. However, it will be partly sunny and the temperature is expected to hover around 20-22 degrees Celsius according to AccuWeather.

Pitch Report

The Lord’s pitch has been on the slower side in this World Cup. Chasing hasn’t been easy at all with the spinners coming into the game in the second half. The scores also haven’t been so high batting first either. The team winning the toss should opt to bat first.

Average first innings score: 279 (last three matches in World Cup at the venue)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 0; Lost – 3
