The Pakistan men’s cricket team is all set for a highly-anticipated T20 International (T20I) series in Bangladesh next month.
Confirmed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), the three-match series promises intense competition between two cricket-loving nations.
Fans from both sides are eager to witness the clash, which forms an important part of the international cricket calendar.
The green shirts are scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on July 16, giving them four days to adjust to local conditions before the first match.
All games will take place at the iconic Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, a venue known for its electric crowd and spin-friendly pitch.
The matches are expected to test both teams’ adaptability and resolve, particularly under the pressure of evening conditions.
The T20I series will begin on Sunday, July 20, with the match scheduled for 6 PM local time. The second match is set for Tuesday, July 22, followed by the final game on Thursday, July 24.
All three matches will be played under lights, making it convenient for working fans to tune in during prime hours. The scheduling aims to attract maximum viewership both locally and internationally.
This tour is especially significant considering the last time these teams met in a T20I series, Pakistan swept Bangladesh 3-0 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
With home advantage this time, Bangladesh will be keen to rewrite the script and level the score. They will be relying on familiar conditions and home crowd energy to challenge Pakistan’s dominance. Pakistan, however, will enter the series with confidence, aiming to continue their solid run in the shortest format.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20I Schedule:
July 16: Pakistan team arrives in Dhaka
July 20: 1st T20I at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium (6 PM)
July 22: 2nd T20I at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium (6 PM)
July 24: 3rd T20I at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium (6 PM)
The series not only offers thrilling cricket but also plays a crucial role in team rankings and preparations for upcoming global tournaments. With national pride and T20 supremacy at stake, fans can expect three exciting evenings of cricket action.
