Team Previews
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh’s green tigers started strong with a convincing win. Parvez Hossain Emon (56 off 50) and Towhid Hridoy (36 off 29) steadied early collapse and ensured a smooth chase. Taskin Ahmed, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, claimed 3 scalps to derail Pakistan’s chase. Litton Das’s calm presence as captain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s spin options add depth.
Their openers need to kick on. Litton will anchor while Tanzid Hasan brings attacking intent. A strong middle order featuring Naim, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain and Towhid can build big partnerships. Bowling remains their bedrock: Taskin and Nasum Ahmed are the pace spearhead while Mehidy and Miraz spin away middle overs. Mustafizur Rahman brings death-overs expertise. Bangladesh aim to press their advantage at home, riding on form and spin-friendly surface.
Pakistan Preview
Pakistan looked disjointed in the opener, with top-order failures leaving Fakhar Zaman’s 44 as the lone bright spark. Fakhar will return with intent to fire early. Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris provide youth and flair, while Hassan Nawaz and Khushdil Shah can inject late-innings aggression.
Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz form a spin tandem to counter Mehidy and Miraz. Salman Mirza’s 2 scalps in the first match highlight his rising potential. Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, and Hussain Talat offer depth in seam and all-round options. To rectify the opener disaster, Pakistan must overhauling middle order performance and tighten bowling discipline under pressure.

Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris (wk), Hassan Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Salman Mirza, Abbas Afridi
Bangladesh: Litton Das (c), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Mohammad Naim, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

Favourite Team Today
Pakistan appear slightly stronger for the 2nd T20. Despite the opener loss, their depth in batting and rising bowling talent gives them the edge. Fakhar Zaman’s presence at top and effective spinners such as Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz can offset Bangladesh’s pace. The match conditions in Mirpur have historically favored Pakistan. Bangladesh’s form is encouraging, but relying heavily on Parvez Emon and Taskin could be risky. Pakistan’s lineup blends smash-hitting, spin control, and youthful energy, making them the favourite to even the series, barring a repeat of the batting collapse.
Pitch Report
Mirpur’s wicket is balanced—slick outfield and good bounce. Powerplay yields initial help for seamers; spin emerges after 8-10 overs. A 160+ score batting first is realistic.
