Team Bangladesh are all ready to face United Arab Emirates in the opening game of the two-match T20I series at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Both teams had a forgettable Asia Cup 2022 campaign as Bangladesh failed to qualify for the Super-4 stage. While UAE didn’t even advance to the qualifiers.
In this series, Bangladesh will try to develop a winning habit before the ICC T20 World Cup starts in a month. However, they have to face Pakistan and New Zealand too in a tri-series before the marquee event. They will look to balance their side by observing perfect combinations.
While the hosts UAE will try to play strong against the Asian Giants.
Bangladesh will miss the services of their skipper for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Shakib Al Hasan in this series. The veteran is currently playing in the Caribbean Premiere League.
Shakib played a spectacular game of cricket in his last’s CPL game for the Guyana Amazon Warriors, in which he played a knock of 35 off 25 with bat and later took 3 wickets to help his side earn two crucial points on the points table to remain in title contention.
