Bangla Press Desk: Bangladesh are just one win away from scripting history as they take on Pakistan in the final T20I of the three-match series on Thursday night at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
The Litton Das-led side has already secured an unassailable 2-0 lead and will now aim for their first-ever T20I whitewash of Pakistan. The Tigers have previously achieved 3-0 sweeps three times—against Ireland (2012), England (2023), and the West Indies (2024).
A victory will also extend Bangladesh’s winning streak to five matches, equalling their longest run in T20Is, achieved once in 2023 against England and Ireland. With the T20 Asia Cup looming, the team will be keen to build momentum and confidence.
Team rotation is likely, with Nasum Ahmed expected to replace Rishad Hossain after the leg-spinner went for 42 runs in his four overs during the last match. Tanzid Hasan Tamim may also return to the XI if Parvez Hossain Emon is rested.
