Background of the Match
Both the Bangladesh and Pakistan national cricket teams are looking to regain their form in One Day Internationals (ODIs) following disappointing performances in the T20 World Cup 2026. The first ODI match between these two teams is scheduled to take place on March 11, 2026, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. This match marks the beginning of a three-match ODI series, with both teams eager to start with a victory.
Team Captains and Line-ups
Shaheen Shah Afridi leads the Pakistan team, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz captains the Bangladesh side. The match is set to commence at 1:45 PM Indian time, and both teams have made strategic decisions regarding their line-ups. Notably, Bangladesh’s Afif Hossain returns to the ODI squad after a hiatus since December 2024, while Pakistan has included six uncapped players in their team for this series.
Historically, Pakistan has dominated the ODI encounters between the two nations, having won 35 out of the 39 matches played.
