Injuries & Illnesses
Neither team needs to worry about any injury suspicions with both teams lining up at full strength.
Pitch Report & Weather Conditions
The dry matchday conditions and history of how the subcontinental pitches play will suit both sides. Little to no rain will be part of the expectations of the day. Two of the three results in the previous T20I series in Bangladesh have gone the way of the side batting second.
BAN vs PAK Dream11 Top Picks
Wicketkeeper
Mohammad Haris has sparked to life for Pakistan in T20Is. The young wicketkeeper-batter has 244 runs in his past eight T20Is for the country. He has done that at a strike rate of nearly 170 too.
Batters
Hasan Nawaz should be raring to go after a stunning PSL season with the bat. The young gun hit 399 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 162.20. Sahibzada Farhan has proven he knows how to perform under pressure. The opening batter hit a half-century in Qualifier one of the 2025 PSL.
When Parvez Hossain Emon graces the crease with his presence, he should have many fans eagerly anticipating him scoring runs. The opening batter hit a half-century in the third T20I of the previous T20I series against Pakistan. Tanzid Hasan is another batter who should have no mercy on the opponents after progressing to 42 runs in his previous T20I knock against Pakistan.
All Rounders
Salman Agha returned with over 200 runs in the most recent PSL season. Rishad Hossain should have a good relationship with this dry wicket. The leg-spinning all-rounder is likely to bear fruit with almost 50 T20I wickets.
Bowlers
Abbas Afridi should claim much of the glory with the new ball. The right-arm pacer has taken eight wickets in his past five T20I matches. Abrar Ahmed claimed his best PSL bowling figures in 2025. The spinner romped to four for 42 against Peshawar Zalmi.
Mustafizur Rahman should have no trouble slaying some of the T20I giants in the opposition lineup. The pace bowler has 136 T20I wickets. Tanzim Hasan Sakib should give his countryman some worthy company after taking a wicket in his previous T20I against Pakistan.
BAN vs PAK Captain and Vice-Captain Choices
Captain
Salman Agha should be at the front and centre of this clash with his current run-scoring form in T20Is. The all-rounder has 257 runs in his past eight T20I innings. His batting average for that period was 42.83.
Vice-Captain
Abrar Ahmed should have no doubt in his mind about taking wickets in clusters in these conditions. The mystery spinner has 11 wickets in his past eight T20I performances.

The clever and adjustable seamers who know how to make the new ball talk, should make your lineup.
