Get ready for an electrifying start to a crucial T20I series as Bangladesh host Pakistan in the 1st T20I! The stage is set for a thrilling encounter on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at the iconic Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Cricket fans are buzzing with anticipation as these two Asian powerhouses renew their rivalry in the shortest format.
The Bangladesh cricket team, led by Litton Das, enters this series with a surge of confidence. They are fresh off a historic 2-1 T20I series victory against Sri Lanka on Lankan soil, culminating in a dominant 8-wicket win in the final match. Key performers like openers Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das, along with Towhid Hridoy and Shamim Hossain, showcased their batting prowess, while Mahedi Hasan's exceptional 4-wicket haul (4/11) in the decider, supported by Rishad Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman, highlighted their bowling strength. Litton Das also made history by becoming the first Bangladesh captain to win two overseas T20I series.
However, the Tigers face a formidable challenge against Pakistan. The last time these two teams met in a T20I series was in Pakistan in May-June this year, where the hosts secured a dominant 3-0 whitewash in Lahore. Pakistan's squad, under the captaincy of Salman Ali Agha, features explosive talents like Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub at the top, supported by the likes of Mohammad Haris and the mystery spin of Abrar Ahmed. Historically, Pakistan holds a significant advantage in T20Is, having won 19 out of their 22 encounters against Bangladesh.
The Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium pitch in Dhaka is known for its black clay surface, which offers a mix of slowness and flatness. While batters can score once settled, pacers will find early seam movement and bounce with the new ball, and spinners are expected to become more influential as the match progresses. The average first innings T20I score at this venue is around 144.
Will Bangladesh continue their winning momentum from Sri Lanka and challenge Pakistan's historical dominance on home turf, or will Pakistan extend their impressive head-to-head record? Don't miss this captivating BAN vs PAK 1st T20I as the battle for T20 supremacy unfolds.
If we talk about head to head record, then both the teams have faced each other 22 times in which Bangladesh has won 3 matches whereas pakistan have won 19 matches and 0 match without no result. In such a situation, Bangladesh will have an advantage in this match because they will be playing on their home ground.
The matches between the two teams are always tough. Pakistan team is looking in good form but Bangladesh' main batsmen need to take responsibility as they are getting out after getting set in previous series vs Sri Lanka. For Bangladesh, both openers Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan Tamim have looking in good touch.

Despite Sri Lanka having the firepower of Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris, Salman Agha, Hasan Nawaz, Shadab Khan, and Khushdil Shah, Bangladesh' all-around strength and explosive players Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Najmul Hossain Shanto, give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?
As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, West Indies might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, but Sri Lankan balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Agha, Hasan Nawaz and Shadab Khan make them a formidable opponent. Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.
