👍Bangladesh are in complete control after setting Pakistan a monumental 437-run target. The visitors will resume Day 4 at 0/0, needing a record chase on a pitch that historically crumbles on the final days, with the average fourth-innings score here being just 176.
Can Pakistan pull this off? Unlikely. While their coach remains hopeful, surviving the new ball against Taskin Ahmed is the first of many hurdles. The weather is also a factor, with a 98% rain chance on Day 4 that could eat up precious time, potentially forcing a draw.

🏏 Bangladesh are the overwhelming favorites to win and secure a 2-0 series sweep, though persistent rain remains the only real threat to their victory

👍👍👍👍The stakes couldn't be higher for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) , who are stuck in 6th place with 12 points after three straight losses . They need a win at their home ground to keep playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are already eliminated, sitting at the bottom of the table . However, with nothing to lose, they can play freely and spoil RR's party .

The Royals have dominated the head-to-head, winning 5 of 7 meetings . The Jaipur pitch favors high scores and teams chasing under lights . While LSG's Mitchell Marsh is a serious threat , RR's desperation to win—and home advantage—should see them through a nail-biter.
Prediction: Rajasthan Royals to win.
