Pakistan are favorites to win
The New Zealand Men’s T20I Tri Nation Series begins with Bangladesh taking on Pakistan in Match 1 at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Friday afternoon. Bangladesh beat UAE 2-0 in an IT20 series at the end of last month. Pakistan lost their recent home series 4-3 to England. Read on as we preview this clash. The match gets underway at 15:00 local time.
There are low expectations around this Bangladesh side after they beat only PNG and Oman during last year’s World Cup. Since then, their two wins have come over Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
Pakistan will still be disappointed at failing to win the series against England but they were competitive throughout most of the matches. They will be very confident of getting off to a winning start in Christchurch.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Spark Sport and Willow TV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Rabbitholebd Sports, FanCode and Spark Sport
In the two completed IT20s at the Hagley Oval, we have seen a team win batting first and a team win batting second. We predict that both skippers will choose to field first.
This pitch is usually the most responsive for the seam and swing bowlers. We expect a par score to be between 170 and 180.
The weather will not be warm in Christchurch with a top temperature of 11 degrees at the start of play. By the end of the game it could have dropped to around 9 degrees..

Shakib Al Hasan missed the recent two match series against UAE in Dubai as he was playing for Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League. He will return to the team and will captain the side with Nurul Hasan reverting to the vice-captain role.
Bangladesh won only two of 17 IT20s before their 2-0 series win over UAE.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Sabbir Rahman, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mosaddek Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (c) (wk), Ebadot Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman
Although he is in their squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup, Shaheen Shah Afridi will not take any part in this game or any of the other matches across this series. A lack of middle-order runs has been a concern for the side for a while and the players in those positions need to produce consistent innings.
Pakistan have struggled for consistency over recent months but have still reached the final of the 2022 Asia Cup and lost the deciding game to England earlier this month.
Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain
Bangladesh have beaten Pakistan twice in this format with the victories coming in back to back games from 2015 - 2016. Pakistan won the last clash by five wickets in November last year.

| Last 5 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 |
When you consider the recent form of the two teams in this format, it is no surprise to see that Pakistan are strong favourites to win this match.

The majority of Pakistan’s batting strength comes from their opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. If Bangladesh can dismiss them both early then they will have a much better chance in this match.
Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das and Sabbir Rahman are our batting tips for Bangladesh. Rahman has a top score of 80 in this format.
We recommend Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Shan Masood with the bat for Pakistan. Masood hit two half-centuries in the series against England.
We are backing Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan Miraz for Bangladesh. Off-spinner Hasan Miraz has 217 international wickets.
Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Wasim are our bowling recommendations for Pakistan. 21 year old Wasim has 19 wickets at an average of 22.21 in IT20s.
It has been many years since cricket supporters have seen an international tri-nation series in Men’s Cricket and there is plenty of excitement ahead of this one. Bangladesh and Pakistan will be playing in far colder conditions to what they are used to and we expect Pakistan to comfortably win this game.
