1st T20I Match - Bangladesh vs Pakistan (Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka)

Current T20I Form Bangladesh:

Bangladesh are currently placed at the 10th position on ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 220.

When it comes to T20I cricket, Bangladesh are in a superb form. They have recently beaten Sri Lanka in a T20I Series away from home by 2-1.

All of the Bangladeshi players are fresh off match practice after the Sri Lanka tour and they would be raring to go against a tough opponent Pakistan.

Players to look out for:

1. Tanzid Hasan - He showcased why he is considered future superstar of Bangladesh in the T20I Series against Sri Lanka. Hasan can hit the ball a long way and take the opposition bowlers on right from the word go.

2. Rishad Hossain - He is a wily wrist spinner who doesn't leak runs in T20I cricket and also provides breakthroughs when it matters the most for his team.

When it comes to T20I cricket, Pakistan are in superb form. They have recently beaten Bangladesh in a 3 Match T20I Series by 3-0 at home. However, away from home would be a different kind of challenge against a spirited Bangladeshi team.

Pakistan will certainly start as favorites for the T20I Series.

Players to look out for:

1. Fakhar Zaman - He is a powerful striker of the cricket ball who can unleash his best against the Bangladeshi spinners on turning pitches. Zaman will play an important role with the bat for Pakistan in the upcoming matches.
