In the first Twenty20 International of the (3) match series against Bangladesh, which took place at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday 28th of May 2025, Pakistan had previously won the toss and decided to bat first.

Players Receive Appreciation By Pak’s Captain

After winning the toss, the national team’s captain, Salman Ali Agha, stated that the goal is to post a large total.

He admitted that choosing the final eleven was challenging because of the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) players’ outstanding performances. “Every boy has done a fantastic job in the PSL,” Salman said.

“We expect every player to give it their all on the field as part of our strategy to play modern cricket.”

Litton Das, the captain of Bangladesh, however, gave some thought to their most recent series against the United Arab Emirates.

Despite playing well, he said, the side was unable to secure a victory and would now concentrate on producing great bowling and batting performances.

Both teams will have a valuable chance to try combinations and gain momentum during the series in preparation for upcoming international matches.
