Pakistan will be up against Bangladesh in the first T20. This article provides details about Pakistan's Playing 11 vs Bangladesh for the first of the three-match T20I series to be played on May 28, 2025.
Saim Ayub will open the innings for Pakistan in the first T20I against Bangladesh along with Fakhar Zaman.
The duo will be playing its first international game in a while after recovering from injuries that they picked up in South Africa and during the Champions Trophy, respectively.
Both Saim and Fakhar will look to get the Men in Green off to an aggressive start against an inexperienced Bangladesh bowling attack in the first six overs.
Saim Ayub will hope to get things going in his usual attacking manner like he has done in his short career for the team at the highest level.
Fakhar, on the other hand, who happens to be the senior partner in this partnership, might look to take an over or two to get his eye in.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Mohammad Harris (wk), Hasan Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Salman Ali Agha (c), Khushdil Shah
The opening pair is expected to be followed by wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Harris, who has been in and out of the team after impressive everyone with his big-hitting abilities in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Pakistan's middle order will be handled by the captain and vice-captain Salman Ali Agha and Shadab Khan, who will bat at number four and five or switch positions depending on the situation of the game.
The two experienced batters, especially captain Salman Ali Agh, played with a positive intent during Pakistan's last T20I assignment against New Zealand and looked to take on the bowlers.
Agha would like to continue to play with the same approach in the home conditions against Bangladesh.
The right-hander would want good support from his deputy, Shadab Khan, who has also been retained in the squad for the three-match series and will play an integral part in all three departments
The Men in Green will depend heavily on their fast bowlers to provide early breakthroughs for the team with the new ball in the first six overs of the game, scheduled to be played on Wednesday
The fast bowling trio of Mohammad Wasim Jr., Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf will look to put on a strong display of bowling against a Bangladesh batting lineup that is short of confidence after the last series.
All eyes will be on Naseem Shah as the fast bowler is the leader of the pace attack in the absence of left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi
Naseem will be partnered by Haris Rauf, who will start the innings with the ball from the other end and will hope to rattle the Bangladeshi batter with the pace for which he is known.
As far as PAK's spin bowling department is concerned, the onus will be on leg spinner Abrar Ahmed, who will be supported by Shadab Khan, along with the part-time spin of Salman Agha and Khushdil Shah.
