BAN vs PAK, 1st T20I, Match Prediction– Who will win the Match?

Pakistan has a strong record against Bangladesh in T20Is leading 19-3. The last T20I series between the two sides ended in a whitewash as well. Bangladesh though will come in with the belief that they have come back well from that period. Litton Das has started to step up and looking at him the Bangladesh batters seem a lot more motivated. Mirpur is likely to help them more with spin often being the best way to go about it.

Pakistan will have a similar approach though to the one they used in May. The batters are likely to continue to be aggressive despite the absence of Shadab Khan. They have the knowledge of playing in the BPL and that could come in handy for the games coming up.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan: Players to Watch

Mohammad Haris

Mohammad Haris is building into his role at number three well. He has led the charge with aggression and also has a century to his name now.

Tanzid Hasan

Tanzid Hasan comes in as a fresh piece of air after performing well and standing up against Sri Lanka. He is getting the six-hitting game well and that is what Bangladesh need with their batters often not stepping up enough in the past.

Pakistan the easy favorite with a favorable record in their head-to-head encounters.
