As expected, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has named an unchanged squad for the T20I series against Pakistan following the tour of Sri Lanka.
Pakistan have announced a 15-member squad for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, set to begin on July 20 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.
"Intent in T20s has to be there. When you are chasing 200 runs, you can't let the required run rate go over 13. If you take the average at 13, it will be tough for you," Mushtaq told reporters after the match.
Bangladesh have a poor T20I record against Pakistan, winning just 3 out of 19 encounters and losing 16.
“Our aim is to play positive, attacking cricket, the kind that teams across the world are adopting. But it’s important that we do so smartly. We will play fearless cricket, not careless cricket,” Salman emphasised.
The task, however, will not be an easy one, especially with the Tigers missing the services of three of their frontline pacers.
The opening T20I of the three-match series starts at 9 pm Bangladesh time at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today.
Bangladesh head coach Phil Simmons insists the team remains upbeat, saying morale is high despite the shock loss to the UAE.
