The first T20I match between Bangladesh and Pakistan is set to take place on July 20, 2025, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The match is the first of a three-match series between the two nations.

For viewers in Bangladesh, the match will be broadcast on T Sports and the Sports Central YouTube channel. In Pakistan, PTV Sports and the Tamasha app will provide coverage. North American viewers can tune in through Sling TV – Willow TV. In India, the FanCode app and website will offer live streaming.
