BAN vs PAK 3rd T20I: Bangladesh eying series whitewash as they host Pakistan

Bangladesh and Pakistan will be locking horns in the third and final T20I match on Thursday at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Bangladesh currently lead the three-match T20I series 2–0. Dominant at home, they’ve leveraged conditions better, showing incredible character. They will be looking to secure a clean sweep (3–0). A win would further reinforce their dominance at home and validate Captain Litton Das's leadership.
Pakistan, on the other hand, have struggled to counter the local attack and have been outplayed in decisive moments. Their only hope remains salvaging pride with a final-game victory. A win would offer relief and boost the morale of the new-look squad being led by Agha Salman.
