BAN vs PAK 1st T20I: All you need to know, head-to-head, playing XI
Bangladesh and Pakistan are set to lock horns in the opening T20I of their three-match series on Sunday at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Bangladesh would hope to settle scores after their 0–3 whitewash to Pakistan earlier this year.
Both sides met each other earlier this year, with Pakistan securing a 3–0 series win over Bangladesh in Pakistan, upping the pressure on the hosts to strike back.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh enter on the back of a thrilling 2–1 series victory against Sri Lanka. Their T20I winning form against Sri Lanka was built on standout all‑round performances – with everyone contributing equally. A victory in the first match against Pakistan would be a major boost for Bangladesh to gain momentum and assert dominance. Pakistan, however, would aim to maintain their T20I dominance and complete an away series win.
