It was difficult to create pressure on them even with the ball - Salman Mirza showed some resistance, but the Bangladesh batsmen dominated the rest of the bowlers. Now it will be important for them to make a comeback in the 2nd T20I and improve the batting order.
The Mirpur surface favors spin bowlers. As the game advances, the spin intensifies and the ball rotates more quickly. Initially, fast bowlers can achieve some bounce and seam movement, particularly with a fresh ball.
However, as the ball ages, its impact diminishes. Hitting becomes somewhat challenging here following the second innings. When a spinner delivers the ball accurately, the whole game rests in his control.
Therefore, the team that wins the toss will choose to bat first, allowing their spinners to dominate the game when the pitch deteriorates later on. This pitch is flat and slow, which makes scoring runs feel simple at first, but eventually, the ball begins to move, and batting gets challenging. The team that bats first holds a small edge.
Although Pakistan has dominated Bangladesh in the Head-to-Head rivalry, however in the last match Bangladesh picked up their fourth win against Pakistan. Pakistan have won a record 19 matches against Bangladesh in T20Is. But recent trends are saying something else. In the first T20I Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets, in which their bowling and young batting did wonders. This match was held in Dhaka, where both Bangladesh's record and support are strong. Taking full advantage of home conditions Bangladesh has challenged the record of Pakistan. Now when the series is 1-0 in their favour, they have the psychological edge as well.
