The 2nd T20I match played between Bangladesh and Pakistan will be held at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The match will be kicked off on 20th November (Saturday) at 14:00 (GMT+6).
In the first T20I, Bangladesh was in the match for the most part, but the last three overs went against them, as the hosts lost the game by four wickets in the final over. They could have made a difference if they had scored 15 more. To level the series, the team must win the second T20I match.
On the other hand, in the first T20I, Pakistan did not rely on the world-class batting duo of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, as middle-order batters completed the task. They read the pitch effectively and bowled Bangladesh’s batters some tight lines and lengths, retristed them to just 127 runs. The Men In Green are now leading the series 1-0 and aim to maintain that momentum in the second T20I match too.
Weather
The weather looks good during the match, with a pleasant temperature.
Pitch
