The start of this series has been extremely disappointing for Pakistan, as they suffered a crushing defeat in the previous match.

On the bowling front, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim claimed one wicket each.
BAN vs PAK Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka is slow and conducive to spinners. It typically favors bowlers—particularly spinners—who tend to become increasingly dominant as the match progresses.
Initially, the pitch surface offers some assistance to fast bowlers and provides a degree of movement; however, it slows down considerably as the game wears on. At that stage, it becomes significantly more favorable to spinners, who have historically claimed over 55% of the wickets taken at this venue. The average first-innings score hovers around 226–230, and teams batting second (chasing the target) tend to win the majority of matches (63 out of 123 ODIs). Expect a moderate-scoring contest where a total of 250 is considered a strong score, and teams winning the toss typically prefer to bowl first.
In recent ODI matches—specifically the last five games—spinners accounted for 52 of the total 78 wickets taken, while fast bowlers managed to claim only 26. This further reinforces the slow nature of this pitch. The highest team total recorded at this venue is India's 370/4; conversely, low scores such as Bangladesh's 58/10 demonstrate that on these turning tracks, there remains a persistent risk of batting lineups collapsing suddenly.
Who will win today 2nd ODI match between Bangladesh vs Pakistan?
Aaj ka PAK vs BAN match kon jeetega: It appears that Bangladesh holds the upper hand in the second ODI against Pakistan. This match is scheduled to be played today at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. The team's morale is significantly boosted following a splendid 8-wicket victory over Pakistan in the first ODI, held on March 11.
Bangladesh bundled out Pakistan for a mere 114 runs—with Nahid Rana claiming 5 wickets for 24 runs and Mehidy Hasan Miraz taking 3 wickets—and chased down the target of 115 runs in just 15.1 overs (thanks to a blistering innings of 67 runs off 42 balls by Tanzid Hasan). Despite an opening partnership of 41 runs, Pakistan's batting order completely crumbled, exposing their vulnerabilities on a slow pitch.
Overall, Pakistan leads the head-to-head ODI record with a 34-5 advantage; however, Bangladesh achieved a 3-0 clean sweep in the previous series (2015) and boasts a formidable home record in Mirpur (having won 5 of their last 7 matches against Pakistan).
