- Pakistan ka Bangladesh ke khilaaf T20I record zabardast hai: 16-3, lekin 2023 World Cup mein Pakistan ko Bangladesh ne hara diya tha.
- India-Pakistan border tension ke chalte security concerns the, lekin ceasefire ke baad tour green signal mil gaya.
Key Matchups
- Saim Ayub vs Bangladesh Bowlers: Ayub ki explosive batting Bangladesh ke inexperienced bowlers ko kaafi challenge karegi.
- Litton Das vs Pakistan Pacers: Litton ko handle karna hoga Haris Rauf aur Naseem Shah jaise tezz bowlers ko.
- Spin Ka Takkar: Shadab Khan aur Abrar Ahmed vs Bangladesh ki middle order – spinners ka kaam important hoga Lahore ki pitch pe.
Pakistan Ki Nayi Soch – Mike Hesson Era
Pakistan ne bold step liya hai – naye coach Mike Hesson ke saath ek aggressive aur fearless cricket approach laayi ja rahi hai. Babar, Rizwan, aur Shaheen ko rest diya gaya hai, aur naye PSL stars ko moka mila hai. Salman Ali Agha captain banaye gaye hain aur Shadab vice-captain hain.
DRS na hone se on-field decisions aur zyada important ho gaye hain. Squad mein mix hai experience aur young talent ka, aur home advantage Pakistan ke paas hai.
Bangladesh Ka Challenge – Comeback Ki Koshish
Bangladesh ki team UAE se series haar kar Lahore aayi hai, injuries aur inconsistent form ke issues ke saath. Mustafizur aur Taskin jaise pace stars missing hain. Litton Das ko captain banaya gaya hai T20 World Cup 2026 tak ke liye, par unki khud ki form bhi unstable hai.
Security tension ke bawajood, team 25 May ko Lahore pahunch chuki hai aur training start kar di hai. Youngsters ke paas golden chance hai Pakistan ke khilaaf performance dikhane ka.
Prediction
Pakistan ki taraf sab kuch positive lag raha hai – naye players, home ground, aur attacking approach. Lekin Bangladesh ko underestimate nahi kiya ja sakta – unke paas upset karne ka talent hamesha se raha hai. Close matches expected hain, aur dono teams World Cup se pehle ek strong statement dena chahengi.
