Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st T20I: Match Preview, Head-to-Head, and How to Watch Live
Cricket fans, the wait is finally over! After a two-month break, the Pakistan national cricket team is back in action as they take on Bangladesh in the opening T20I of a three-match series. The match will be played at the iconic Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh: A Rivalry Renewed
Both teams enter the series with momentum on their side. Pakistan, having dominated their last T20I series at home in May, will be looking to carry that form into foreign conditions. Bangladesh, on the other hand, recently clinched a T20I series win in Sri Lanka and will be eager to impress on home soil.
Historically, Pakistan has had the upper hand in T20Is, leading the head-to-head with 19 wins to Bangladesh’s 3. However, two of Bangladesh’s victories came in Dhaka, giving the hosts hope of pulling off an upset in familiar conditions.
Mike Hesson’s First Big Test
This series will also be a significant moment for Pakistan’s new coaching setup under Mike Hesson. The Green Shirts have looked sharp under his leadership at home, but this tour presents a real challenge in an away setting. It’s a golden opportunity to prove their adaptability and depth as the road to the T20 World Cup 2026 begins.
