Pakistan aims for clean sweep against Bangladesh in today’s T20I

The Pakistan cricket team will be looking for a clean sweep against the hosts Bangladesh today as both teams will meet each other in the final T20I match of the three-match series in Dhaka, scheduled to start at 01:00 pm PST.

Bangladesh had troubled the Pakistani batsmen with their destructive bowling but their insipid batting has failed to win a match against Green Shirts.

Pakistan has won the series by 2-0 with only one match to go. However, skipper Babar Azam will be looking to maintain the winning momentum of the team.

So far in the series, Babar has not scored big as he is struggling to find his form in the T20I series. He scored only 7 in the first T20I and in the second T20I he only managed to score a single run.

Pakistan will have the chance to play Iftikhar Ahmed, Shahnawaz Dahani, and Usman Qadir in today’s game. Qadir and Dahani had not participated in any of Pakistan’s six T20 World Cup matches, while Iftikhar had not been picked in the T20 World Cup team.

Iftikhar may be included in the playing XI in place of veteran cricketer Shoaib Malik, who will not be available for the third T20I due to his son’s illness.

Pakistani bowlers have been impressive so far in the series. Hasan Ali took three wickets for 22 runs in four overs and was rested in the second T20I. Shaheen took the bowling in place of Hasan and took 2 wickets for just 15 runs in four overs.
