The three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Bangladesh will kick off tonight.
Pakistan is set to host Bangladesh for a three-match T20I series starting on May 28 from 8:30 PM IST. The other two fixtures of this series will take place on May 30 and June 1, respectively. Earlier, the tour was decided for a five-match T20I series kicking off on May 21. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) rescheduled the series after the recent political conflicts.
This series will play an important role in both the team’s preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2026. However, both of them are heading into the series on the back of recent T20I defeats.
The host, Pakistan, endured a tough 4-1 loss in the five-match away series against New Zealand in March. Bangladesh is also coming from a recent embarrassing 2-1 defeat against the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, one of them will surely get back to the winning ways after the end of this 20-over series.
