DHAKA: After a clean swept in three-match in ODI series by the Tigers, Pakistan are facing Bangladesh blowers in the only Twenty20 (T20) in city’s Mirpur Friday evening.

The mach kicked off at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium at 6:30pm.

Mukhtar Ahmed began Pakistan’s innings with Ahmed Shehzad on the other end of the crease while Bangladesh debutant Mustafizur Rahman bowled the first over.

Two players from both sides are making their debut in T20 international. Mustafizur Rahman and Soumya Sarkar are for Bangladesh while Mohammad Rizwan and Mukhtar Ahmed are for Pakistan.

Pakistan are among most successful in T20 matches. Pakistan won 50 out of 85 T20s, while Bangladesh only have 11 wins in 41 games.

But, Pakistan are at bottom of their confidence as their tour against the Tigers is still at zero.
