Bangladesh’s next international assignment is expected in September during the Asia Cup T20, which is likely to be held in the UAE. Until then, the national side faces a rare break from international and domestic cricket, aside from Bangladesh 'A' team’s scheduled red-ball and T20 series in Australia next month.
The Tigers suffer from megalophobia -- they fear large targets.
For now, the home win is a welcome boost.
“We know that we can't fill the void of the lives that were lost, but at least from our side, this series is dedicated to them.”
Middle-order batter Jaker Ali scored his fourth T20I fifty and left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam notched up his career-best figures as Bangladesh clinched a thrilling win in the second T20I of the three-match series against Pakistan in Mirpur and sealed the series with a 2-0 lead.
Bangladesh captain Litton Das admitted that his side's knowledge and familiarity with the wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur played a key factor in their commanding seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday.
Litton claimed that batters particularly suffered in two series back in 2021 against Australia and New Zealand, where Bangladesh won both series but received a lot of criticism for the tailor-made rank-turner wickets.
Captaincy, however, might have influenced his recent innings -- particularly the 76 in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Dambulla, the highest score by a Bangladesh T20I captain.
The Bangladesh squad arrived in the country on Thursday following their 2-1 T20I series triumph against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. The Tigers, however, have little time to adjust to home conditions, with Pakistan already having arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday to play a three-match T20I series.

Speaking to the media upon returning home this morning, Nafees hailed Litton’s resilience and leadership under pressure.
