Pakistan has played 2 matches in the tournament so far. The team had to face defeat by 5 wickets from their rivalry team India. Though the team was able to secure a win in the tournament but it was against the minnows UAE. Mohammad Amir is doing great with the ball but the thing which is alarming for Pakistan is their batting line up. The early fall of the wicket gives chance to the opponent team to override the match.

Bangladesh last match win in Asia Cup against Sri Lanka will surely help to team to get motivated and keep them in the race to finals. Though the team has lost to India by 45 runs in the first match, but their win against UAE and Sri Lanka is a proof that this team is very capable of making wonders at any point of the match.
