After failing to qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, Pakistan will hope to make amends under skipper Shaheen Afridi in the ODI format. Pakistan made a few brave decisions in the lead-up to the order, dropping senior star Babar Azam from the squad.
Six uncapped players have been called up, including Abdul Samad, Maaz Sadaqat, Saad Masood and Shamyl Hussain who played against the England Lions in Abu Dhabi before the series was called off due to the conflict in the Middle East. Alongside Babar, Saim Ayub and Naseem Shah were also excluded from the ODI team

Bangladesh has completed the chase here. They have done it in 15 overs. This is a hiding for the Pakistan side, who are coming after a poor World Cup. Superb game Bangladesh has played after missing the world cup they have given something to cheer about to their fans.
Bangladesh has done the work in the first innings; now, they have to chase the score here. Pakistan does have a decent bowling attack, but defending 114 runs in this version, the pressure is on the bowlers. They need to strike early and pick up those wickets.
Pakistan bowled out for 114 runs. What a poor performance from their end. Credit must be given to the Bangladesh bowlers for the way they came out and scalped the wickets. It does seem like the hosts are going to take 1-0 lead in the series to start with.
Pakistan have been razed down in no time here. After Nahid, it was the skipper Mehidy's turn to cut through the lower order and now Taskin Ahmed has returned a wicket in his second spell. Mohammad Wasim is the latest to go with Pakistan's no 5-10 all returning to the hut for single digits!

Positive start for Pakistan with Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat. Both debutant openers have found the fence twice each.
PAK 24/0 in 6 overs
Shaheen Afridi: Actually, I would have loved to bat first on this track. Yeah, the reason is that for debutants, I don't want to put pressure on them batting second. So let them bat freely and we support them. I think for me, like, I'm really excited to see them in the nets and they perform really well for Pakistan and also whenever they play in domestic, they perform well. So as a team, we're excited to see them and they perform for Pakistan for a longer time. Yeah, of course, a winning start is always always important and as a captain, gives you more freedom. So I think, yeah, we just go with the flow and try to give our best. I feel 270, 280 will be a good target.
Mehidy Hasan: Yeah, love to bowl first. Yes, definitely. I think that night time situation is coming and yes, we think about like that in the chase, we will very well play it and I think so. We have a very good bowling attack also. If we get early wicket in first 10 overs, definitely it will be better. Yeah, definitely. It's, I think, it's the greatest start and hopefully everybody's excited. And yes, yes, the qualify is the most important thing in the home series. Definitely, if we win, definitely it's a good moment for us. Yes, we have three fast bowlers, two spinners and the six batters.
