 "Bangladesh vs Pakistan 1st T20 playing 11")
The white-ball rivalry between Bangladesh and Pakistan is back on display today as the two sides face off in the first T20I at the iconic Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Bangladesh skipper Litton Das wins the toss and opts to bowl first, putting Pakistan in to bat.
The Tigers, buoyed by their historic T20I series win in Sri Lanka, will look to keep the momentum going under Litton Das’s captaincy. Fans can expect a passionate home crowd, memories of Bangladesh’s two famous T20I wins over Pakistan at this very venue, and a side eager to build on their growing confidence.
Pakistan, in contrast, arrive with a refreshed look. Agha Salman takes over the captaincy, and noted white-ball coach Mike Hesson starts a new stint at the helm. Several established stars — Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf — are missing, making way for fresh talent keen to impress ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup. Despite Pakistan’s dominant head-to-head record (19–3), the Tigers hope their newly found form and home advantage will help them turn the tables in this much-anticipated series opener.
