PAK vs BAN 1st ODI: Playing XI, Head-to-Head, Pitch Report & Live Streaming Details | Pakistan Tour of Bangladesh 2026

After a disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan will be playing the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, which is all set to start from March 11, 2026, at Shere Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. Both teams are now focusing on the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

​Bangladesh didn’t participate in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 after the ICC rejected their claim of venue change due to security issues in India. However, during the ICC’s internal assessment, there were no security risks to the Bangladesh players and officials in India. But, Bangladesh still decided to withdraw from the tournament, and Scotland replaced them in the tournament.

​Pakistan have quite dominating stats against Bangladesh, especially in the White-ball cricket, and Pakistani players have also performed well against them. Both teams have plenty of good players, but Pakistan is likely to dominate Bangladesh in this series, and they will be looking to win it 3-0.
