In tests, I think Pakistan are better. They do play a lot of tests per year compared to Bangladesh. Most of their batsmen are averaging over 40. If Bangladesh were to play the same # of tests per year, then I'm positive that at least 4 batsmen will see their respective average cross 40. On the bowling front, the Pakistanis are ahead in that department as well, they have an abundance of pacers- something that is more than necessary in tests.
Where they are equal is in the realm of unpredictability...this transcends all formats.
Bangladesh can beat any team in ODIs, so that question is easily answered.
T20I is where Bangladesh have yet to really 'stamp' any authority on top teams...if they would have completed the task in the T20I WC, then we would be having a different conversation...
The T20i team will be a better team than Pakistan when they have the genuine match-winners, guys who can turn the match in one over.
So 2/3 in favor of Pakistan... taking into account the unpredictability factor.
