Match Preview

Bangladesh (BAN) and Pakistan (PAK) are set to clash in the first T20I of the Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2025. The match will take place at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday, July 20, at 5:30 PM IST. This series opener promises an exciting contest between two competitive sides looking to build momentum ahead of future international fixtures.

Bangladesh enters the series with growing confidence after securing a 2-1 T20I series win against Sri Lanka. Returning to familiar home conditions, they will hope their young talents can shine once again. Meanwhile, Pakistan, fielding a youthful squad under the leadership of Salman Agha, will look to overcome the absence of senior players. Historically, Pakistan has dominated this rivalry, winning 19 out of 22 T20Is, while Bangladesh has only managed three victories.

Pitch Report
The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. While it provides good support for batters, bowlers—especially spinners—tend to play a key role as the match progresses. As the surface wears down, spin becomes more effective in the later stages. The average first-innings score at this venue is around 150 runs.
