The Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka is set to host the third and final T20I between Bangladesh and Pakistan, with the hosts aiming for a historic series sweep.
Bangladesh enters this encounter with immense confidence, having already clinched an unassailable 2-0 lead. Their journey to a maiden T20I series victory against Pakistan was sealed with a hard-fought eight-run win in the second match, a testament to their growing prowess in the shortest format of the game. A clean sweep would further elevate Bangladesh’s standing in international T20 cricket, marking a significant milestone in their cricketing history.
For Pakistan, this match is crucial for restoring pride after a challenging tour. Their batting lineup has struggled under pressure throughout the series, collapsing for a mere 110 runs in the opening T20I and faltering again during a tense chase in the second game against Bangladesh’s disciplined bowling attack. Despite spirited individual efforts, particularly from Faheem Ashraf and debutant Ahmed Daniyal, the visitors have largely lacked cohesion with the bat. Pakistan will be desperate to avoid a 3-0 whitewash and finish the series on a positive note.

Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report
The Shere Bangla National Stadium is renowned for its slow, turning pitches. While fast bowlers might find some early seam and swing movement, especially if it’s overcast, the pitch typically slows down considerably as the game progresses. This shift heavily favours spinners, making it increasingly challenging for batters to play shots freely.
Success on this surface often hinges on a batter’s ability to settle in early and rotate the strike effectively. Given the pitch’s tendency to deteriorate, teams winning the toss might prefer to bat first and build scoreboard pressure, making the most of the relatively easier batting conditions upfront.
