BAN vs PAK Match Preview

Pakistan goes to Bangladesh for the brief T20 series, and while Pakistan is still the favorite to win, the margin of victory is no longer as clear. After defeating Sri Lanka by 8 wickets with over three overs to spare in the previous T20I, a Bangladesh victory is not out of the question. However, the Pakistani side has nearly every area covered.
