Bangladesh keen to continue winning momentum against Pakistan

With determination to continue winning momentum, Bangladesh will take on Pakistan in the three-match T20 International series at home.

The series opener will be held today (Sunday) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka’s Mirpur. The match is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM.

Bangladesh, often dubbed as a vulnerable side in the T20 format, gained momentum from their maiden series victory over Sri Lanka just a few days ago.

During the tour of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh lost the two-match Test series 1-0 and the three-match ODI series 2-1. They also lost the first T20I, but made a remarkable comeback by winning the next two matches to seal the series 2-1.
