PAK vs BAN Match Previews
Bangladesh did not play in the T20 World Cup this year. Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be looking to make a difference after the home team's long break from international cricket. Bangladesh's last ODI series was against the West Indies in Mirpur in October last year. The home team won 2-1.
Pakistan will be looking to bounce back after a poor performance in the T20 World Cup. The Men in Green failed to make it to the knockouts in consecutive editions of the tournament. Pakistan's last ODI assignment was a three-match series against Sri Lanka at home in November 2025. The hosts won the series 3-0.
BAN vs PAK Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium is generally bowler-friendly, especially for spinners as the match progresses. It offers medium scoring potential in ODIs (average around 230 in the first innings) and low scoring potential in T20Is (around 144), favoring pacers initially before giving way to spin later.
The surface starts with good pace and bounce for batting but slows down, favoring spin bowlers who can exploit the turn and grip. Recent reports from the BAN vs PAK ODIs suggest a competitive first innings target of 270, which is safe but challenging on this track.
Who will win today 1st ODI match between Bangladesh vs Pakistan?
Aaj ka PAK vs BAN match kon jeetega: Bangladesh is slightly ahead of Pakistan in the first ODI against them at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium today, given their home ground and good conditions for spin. Despite the threat from Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, Pakistan's new batting lineup, including debutants, faces challenges on this slow pitch.
- Bangladesh has been playing well in Dhaka, with spinners like Mehidy Hasan Miraz (121 ODI wickets) dominating the latter half; their recent home ODI series win has boosted their confidence.
- The absence of Babar Azam and Saim Ayub will leave their inexperienced top order vulnerable to spin; a total of less than 275.5 runs is a betting tip.
- This favors Bangladesh's balance compared to Pakistan's changes following their T20 World Cup exit.
