BAN vs PAK Dream11 Team - 1st Test 2021 | 26 Nov

In the 2021 Pakistan tour of Bangladesh, we had three T20Is and all were the exact same story. Bangladesh batted first in all three games and never crossed a total of 130 even once. After that, they bowled brilliantly to take every game till the final over but those 10-15 runs short hurt them in every game. Now, it’s time for the bigger challenge as they play host for a series of 2 tests, the first at Chattogram!

Pakistan has played much more test cricket in recent months and years and are clear favourites and with the amount of influence spin has had so far and the low scores in each game, we think we could see both teams being skittled out cheaply and the game ending in 3-4 days. Pakistan won their only previous test here. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) BAN vs PAK 1st Test Dream11 predictions…

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Pakistan leads 4-0.
Bangladesh – only won 2 of their 20 Tests here.
Top 10 wicket takers at this venue – 8 are spinners.
Imam ul Haq – 202* in last FC game earlier this month.

Bangladesh

Spinners are going to be key and we wouldn’t want to leave out any of them. In 17 Tests here, Shakib Al Hasan has picked up 60 wickets while in recent years but he’s unavailable for this game. Taijul Islam has been one of the leading spinners for Bangladesh, picking 30 scalps in just 8 games here. He’ll have a massive impact on the game and is in our BAN vs PAK fantasy team for the 1st Test, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a must have too.

With 12 wickets in 3 games here in the past, Nayeem Hasan is also someone who is in contention of making the playing eleven for the 1st Test and if he does so, pick him as an additional spinning option. With the bat, captain Mominul Haque averages 74+ with an outstanding record of 7 centuries in just 10 games, with a total tally of 1,197 runs. Pick him in your BAN vs PAK Dream11 team while you can try Najmul Hosaain Shanto too, who showed good touch in the T20 series.

Pakistan

For a batsman of his standards, Azhar Ali has only got 3 fifties in his last 6 FC games and that’s why we’ll leave him out of this team and pick someone like Fawad Alam who has 3 centuries in his last 6 Tests for Pakistan and you can expect him to give a fighting spirit till the end. He won’t be opening the batting like he does in white ball cricket but given the form he’s in, Mohammad Rizwan can’t be left out either.

Shaheen Shah Afridi has been in great rhythm but we’re leaving him out of our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) BAN vs PAK fantasy team because this pitch is for spinners. Pakistan don’t have great spinners but we’ll take who’s there and left-arm spinner Nauman Ali is one option. Sajid Khan could be the other spinner alongside him while Faheem Ashraf may be picked too since he can get runs if needed by the team.
