Bangladesh will take on Pakistan in the second game of the ongoing three-match T20I series at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.
Pakistan won the series opener by four wickets on Friday and led the three-match leg 1-0. On the other hand, it’s a do-or-die contest for Bangladesh, as if they lose today, Pakistan would seal the series.

Played: 13 | BAN won: 02 | PAK won: 11 | No result: 0
