Pakistan vs Bangladesh: AI predictions

According to Perplexity AI, Pakistan start as “slight favourites” as they have beaten Bangladesh in 13 of their last 15 Asia Cup games.

The AI bot says Pakistan’s pace attack and batting from give them an edge on the Dubai surface, which suits disciplined bowling under lights.

“Most expert analyses and algorithms give Pakistan a 60–65% chance of winning. Pakistan are favoured, but Bangladesh have the potential to cause an upset if they capitalise on early wickets or big partnerships,” it further says.

“Pakistan are the overwhelming favourites (70-30 odds per Google/Bet365), and I predict Pakistan to win by 15-20 runs (or 5-7 wickets if chasing),” comes from Grok.

Their batting depth (Fakhar-Saim fireworks) and bowling variety (Shaheen-Abrar duo) suit Dubai's conditions,” it adds.

ChatGPT, too, slightly favours Pakistan. It calls Pakistan’s bowling attack “stronger and more battle-tested”.

“But Bangladesh can’t be written off. If Litton Das, Mustafizur Rahman, and their middle-order fire, they have a shot,” says ChatGPT.

“So my prediction: Pakistan win, but not comfortably — expect a tight finish, perhaps a chase in the last few overs,” it concludes.
