BAN vs PAK Live Streaming: Where to watch the 1st ODI clash in Dhaka from India, playing 11, pitch and weather report here

Pakistan captain Shaheen Afridi confirmed a radical overhaul of the starting squad by naming three starters for the opening ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Wednesday. Following the disappointing T20 World Cup exit and subsequent sacking of former skipper Babar Azam, the selection committee went for a youth-dominated squad featuring Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat and Shamyl Hussain. The tactical shift comes as Pakistan look to continue their winning streak in the 50-over format against a Bangladesh team that has traditionally proven to be tough on home soil.

Bangladesh-Pakistan: Predicted 11th Game

Pakistan’s top order will see a new look with Maaz Sadaqat opening alongside Sahibzada Farhan, while Shamyl Hussain will bat at one-low position. Mohammad Rizwan will anchor the middle order as wicketkeeper-batsman. Bangladesh, captained by Mehidi Hasan Miraz, is expected to feature Litton Das in the reinforced middle order alongside Afif Hossain and Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman to lead the pace attack.

BAN and PAK Field Report and Weather Updates

The Shere Bangla National Stadium is famous for its grippy surface and helps spinners significantly as the match progresses. Meteorological officials in Dhaka warned of intermittent thunderstorms on Wednesday afternoon, which may cause disruptions. The field is expected to slow down due to a maximum temperature of 32°C and high humidity, giving a potential advantage if rain shortens the competition.

Mutual Record Between Bangladesh and Pakistan

Statistically, Pakistan has a dominant historical advantage over the hosts. Of the 39 ODIs played between the two countries, Pakistan has won 34 times while Bangladesh has crossed the line five times. However, the current ‘second tier’ nature of the visiting team gives Bangladesh a significant opportunity to improve their home record.

The match is scheduled to start at 13:45 IST (14:15 local time). While there is no planned television broadcast for the series in India, fans can watch the live action exclusively on the FanCode app and website.

BAN vs PAK Match Prediction

While Pakistan remains the favorites due to recent wins against Sri Lanka and South Africa, the absence of senior names like Babar Azam and Shadab Khan levels the playing field. Bangladesh’s experienced spin unit and familiarity with Dhaka’s “slow track” conditions make them strong contenders to upset the visitors should the forecast rain create a high-pressure, reduced scenario.
