Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st T20I 2025 Live Streaming: The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is all set to host the opening T20 International of the three-match series between Pakistan and Bangladesh today, May 28. With both sides eyeing the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in India, this series offers a vital platform to fine-tune their strategies and test emerging talents.
The action will begin at 8:30 PM IST (8:00 PM PKT), with the toss scheduled half an hour earlier. This T20 showdown marks the beginning of a five-day bilateral contest, with the second T20I scheduled for Friday, May 30, and the third and final game on Sunday, June 1.
A Series of Redemption for Pakistan
Pakistan will be looking to bounce back after a string of underwhelming performances in the shortest format of the game. The men in green are under new leadership, with Salman Ali Agha taking over the captaincy for this series. This change at the helm signals a potential shift in team dynamics and approach as the side tries to rebuild momentum.
The Gaddafi Stadium crowd will be expecting their home side to make a strong statement. Given the conditions in Lahore and the familiar atmosphere, Pakistan have a slight home advantage, but they must overcome their recent inconsistency to capitalize on it.
Bangladesh Ready to Challenge
On the other side, Bangladesh, led by experienced batter Litton Das, is determined to showcase their T20 prowess. The Tigers have brought in a balanced squad, aiming to build a settled core ahead of the global tournament next year.
Litton’s leadership and batting at the top will be crucial, especially against Pakistan’s varied bowling attack. Bangladesh will also be looking to address their past struggles with the bat in T20Is, and this series offers a perfect stage to experiment and adjust.
