Pakistan will look to build on their commanding record against Bangladesh in T20 Internationals as the two teams meet for the first T20I in Dhaka on Sunday. With a dominant 19-3 head-to-head record, Pakistan enter the series as clear favorites.

The last time these two sides met in May, Pakistan completed a clean sweep in Lahore. Their composed run-chase in the final game of that series underscored the gap between the two teams at the time.

However, Bangladesh have since found some form. Earlier this month, they registered a historic T20I series win in Sri Lanka — their first ever against the island nation. They will also take confidence from their past performances at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, where two of their three T20I wins over Pakistan have come. The third came in the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou.
