Bangladesh Playing Like the Old Pakistan Team: Kamran Akmal

After losing the first two matches of the three-match T20I series, Pakistan has already lost the series to Bangladesh. Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal has shared his disappointment.

Before the third and final match today (July 24), Akmal spoke on his YouTube channel. He said that the way both teams are playing now feels like a role reversal between the two nations.

"It looks like Bangladesh is playing like the old Pakistan team, and Pakistan is now looking like the Bangladesh of the past," Akmal said.

Bangladesh Dominates First Two Matches

Bangladesh has outplayed Pakistan with both bat and ball in the first two T20Is of the series. They are showing great form after their recent series win against Sri Lanka. Now, they are aiming for a historic 3-0 whitewash at home—something Kamran Akmal believes is very possible.

“Pakistan will now play the third T20. The question is—can they avoid a whitewash? Bangladesh will give their best. They have played excellent cricket in the first two matches,” Akmal said.

Akmal Disappointed with Pakistan’s Performance

Akmal, who was once a key player in Pakistan’s limited-overs team, finds it hard to accept Pakistan’s poor form against a team they used to dominate. “The way Pakistan has played, everyone can see they have played really bad cricket. I didn’t expect Pakistan to lose a T20 series in Bangladesh like this,” he said.

“Losing all three matches would be a big setback for Pakistan cricket, but for Bangladesh, it would give a huge confidence boost.”

The two teams will face each other in the third and final T20I today. Bangladesh will try to complete a clean sweep, while Salman Ali Agha’s team will try to save their pride and avoid a whitewash.
