Bangladesh and Pakistan are all set to take on each other in the three-match T20I series starting from November 19. The series will take place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
After a poor outing in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2021, the Mahmudullah-led Bangladeshi outfit are keen to make amends against Pakistan. However, the Tigers are without their experienced players Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim for the series.
U19 World Cup-winning captain Akbar Ali’s comeback story could be a key factor to watch out for in the series. Mustafizur Rahman will lead the pace attack for Bangladesh. Naim Sheikh’s form looked inconsistent and Bangladesh’s chances of winning the series will depend a lot on his form.
Pakistan, on the other hand, are eager to make their mark early in the series after their heartbreaking defeat to Australia in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been in brilliant touch, and the duo will be eager to continue on the same track.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was in top form in the T20 WC and is trusted to be a leader in a potent pace attack.
Head-to-head record: Bangladesh vs Pakistan in T20Is
In total, the two teams have faced each other in 12 T20Is, with Bangladesh winning just two matches. Pakistan have emerged victorious 10 times.
