Pakistan look like they may end up on the losing side. Its 60-40 so far in favour of UAE now.
Now we beat UAE convincingly

Both teams have good attacks. With Tamim, we'd be the favorites, but currently, our batting is very Sabbir-dependent.

Our chances decreased considerably with Mustafiz missing out, but we still have a very good chance. We have to bat better than we do in t20s and not rely on Sabbir alone, the seniors need to step up..rumman will not bail the team out everyday. And we need to bowl better too now that we will have to fill in for Musta. It will be a tough game, we shouldnt be complacent seeing the way they are batting now, they will be rearing to come back and make a statement and their bowling is really good,

Injured. Side strain. Tamim replacing him

Not anymore without Musta. If Tamim can handle the early swing then we will definitely be back though. With the Pak line up packed with right handers, wouldn't be surprised if we play Sunny.

I wouldn't say anyone is clear favorite in this match. It's 50-50. If it was an ODI, I would call us the favorites regardless of whether Musta plays or not.
BTW, I want to mention what Harsha Bhogle said at the end of today's Pak vs UAE match- 'too bad Mustafiz got injured, otherwise BD could have given Pak a good fight.' Thank you Bhogle for reminding me why I hate you so much. I want us to win against Pak just to shut Bhogle up.

It's still in Pakistan's favor. Their match to lose

Why Pakistan is fav? They are a terrible T20 side. Only Amir is a factor. If we can play him safe, we have a massive chance. Pakistan's top order is in shambles. Too dependant on Malik and Akmal to bail them out. If Malik fails and Akmal becomes Akmal, Pakistan batting line up will get blown away even without Mustafizur. We just need 140 if we bat first or restrict them to 130 if we bowl first.

It is laughable how so many fans of Bangladesh, a team that has been playing cricket for many years without Mustafizur, now consider the team to be so reliant on him who only made his debut less than a year ago.
So what if Mustafizur never existed, would the same people think we are not the favorites to win this game because the rest of the team won't be able to do the job?
We should stop being so emotionally reliant on one player and look at the team as a whole.

Pakistan's Amir is in prime form...I reckon he might blow BD's top order away. I hope i'm wrong. Just being a realist...Malik and Akmal are picking form at the right time. I hope I'm wrong.

Without Mustafizur we beat Pakistan 3 Nil last year Odi series and easily too.
Bangladesh are favourites. And will win InshAllah!
