Pakistan vs. Bangladesh Prediction on May 28, 2025

Match info

Lahore’s famous Gaddafi Stadium will host the much-awaited three-match men’s cricket Twenty20 International (T20I) series between Pakistan and Bangladesh as part of the 2025 International cricket season from May 28 to June 1, 2025. The first match of the action-packed series hosted by Pakistan will begin on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 8 p.m. local time. The series, which was originally intended to be a lengthier tour, has been cut short to concentrate on three Twenty20 Internationals. This is a crucial preparation for both teams in advance of the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Meeting statistics

The series will be Mike Hesson’s first as coach for the “Shaheens”. On the other hand, Litton Das will be the new captain of Bangladesh after “The Tigers” unsuccessfully completed their T20I series in the United Arab Emirates (1-2).

Bangladesh deserves all the praise for agreeing to postpone and then go forward with their three-T20I visit to Pakistan, understanding the importance of friendship despite political unrest. Following a nine-day break, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been resumed and completed. Fakhar Zaman and Haris Rauf will now try to duplicate their team’s triumph on the international scene. Cricket betting sites in Pakistan believe they can do so, as they gave the home team the role of an overwhelming favorite in the 1st T20I.

Pakistan has attempted to move on from the past by firing three of their last four T20I captains, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, but they haven’t entirely disposed of the older generation. This is the next phase of their rebuilding after their humiliating early exit from the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Both 30-year-old Hasan Ali and 29-year-old Sahibzada Farhan were called up. Farhan would prefer that 9.55, for which he’s known, be his T20I run rate rather than an average, but he has been given another shot after leading the 2025 PSL in scoring.

The majority of Bangladesh’s main stars are ready for the match. Because of the series’ short hiatus, they had to play the UAE in Sharjah in their third Twenty20 International, the series that they lost 1-2 after leading 1-0. We know what both teams are capable of at their best and worst, even if they enter this series far behind.

Match analytics

Pakistan, as said, will be the overwhelming favorite against Bangladesh in the opening Twenty20 International. Following impressive performances in the most recent PSL, a number of Pakistani players, including Hasan Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed, and Fakhar Zaman (439 runs, four 50s in the recent PSL), are in excellent shape. The team’s goal going into this series is to maintain that momentum. Pakistan is anticipated to put on a good all-around performance and begin the series with a resounding victory due to its strong combination of bowling and batting ability.

With a virtually unbeatable 7-1 T20I record, home advantage, and impressive PSL performances from some of its best players, the home team is well-positioned to prolong Bangladesh’s suffering, especially after likely winning the toss.

Tip: To Win the Toss: Pakistan, with odds of 1.90 on Lavivabet.
