Pakistan and Bangladesh will be up against each other in the first match of the Tri-Series, which also includes home side New Zealand apart from the two teams.
This series is important for the three teams because of the upcoming T20 World Cup which will be played in Australia under similar playing pitches and conditions.
Pakistan was recently seen in action against England in seven matches T20I series which the team lost by 4-3 under homconditionsns. The batting duo of skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were the only players to get runs.
Pakistan's really very blunt middle-order line-up is unable to make runs since Asia Cup 2022 and even against England, the whole batting order was exposed in games where they were easily eliminated because no batter in the middle of the order can provide those significant runs.
The team's bowling looks composed after the return of Shaheen Afridi, who got ruled out in the Asia Cup due to injury, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, and Hasnain will also try to solidify their contingency for the World Cup.
On the other hand, the Bangladesh team will be led by Shakib, who is looking in good form but the team has a terrible record in the shortest format.
Bangladesh got an early exit in the Asia Cup 2022 and lost the series against West Indies. Shakib's team just defeated the United Arab Emirates 2-0 recently.
The team has Litton Das, Afif Hossain, and Nurul Hasan in their batting artillery while bowling is led by experienced pacers Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, and Mosaddek Hossain.
The team is laced with quality all-rounders charged by skipper Shakib al Hasan, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan and others.
