After a two-month hiatus, the Pakistan national cricket team will finally be in action as it takes on Bangladesh in the first of the three-match T20I series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
Both teams will be confident heading into the game. The visitors, having swept the previous series at home in May, will have the upper hand, but Bangladesh will take heart from their recent T20I series win in Sri Lanka and their familiar surroundings to stage an upset.
Pakistan boasts a dominant 19-3 record over Bangladesh in T20I cricket, but two of those Bangladesh wins have come in Dhaka, offering the hosts a glimmer of hope on familiar turf.
The Bangladesh series is also another test of Mike Hesson’s credentials, as he leads the team on their first tour away from Pakistan. The Green Shirts have looked rejuvenated playing his brand of cricket at home, but with a hostile away tour in the offing, the first real test awaits.
