Litton Finally Wins Toss as Bangladesh Clash with Pakistan in T20I Series Opener
It’s a fresh and fiery chapter in Bangladesh cricket as Litton Das finally breaks a frustrating nine-match streak by winning the toss in the series opener against Pakistan. After what felt like an eternity, the Bangladesh skipper walked out under the Dhaka sun and called it right, choosing to field first—an early psychological edge that the Tigers were desperately hoping for after recent setbacks.
This match, held on Sunday, 20 July 2025, marks the beginning of a highly anticipated T20I series between Bangladesh and Pakistan. The Tigers, reeling from a painful series sweep in their previous outing against Pakistan, have come into this encounter with a renewed mindset. Litton, speaking to reporters before the match, expressed his team’s belief: “We have the mentality to beat any side.” That statement, paired with a successful toss, sent a wave of optimism across the stadium and the fans watching from home.

Pakistan, on the other hand, have come prepared, banking heavily on their players’ experience in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) to adapt quickly to local conditions. Led by Agha Salman in this series, the Pakistani squad looks balanced and confident, aiming to maintain their recent dominance over the Tigers. Their batting depth and spin options are expected to play a pivotal role on these slow, turning tracks.
Back in the Bangladesh camp, the memories of the last series loss still sting. Litton’s public apology to fans after that defeat showed character, but now it’s about turning remorse into results. With youngsters like Emon and Tanzid showing spark in the recent Sri Lanka series, Bangladesh will look to build on that momentum. Posting 196 against Sri Lanka was no small feat, and if they can channel that same aggressive energy with both bat and ball, this series could swing in their favor.
The crowd at the stadium buzzed with anticipation. With a minimum ticket price of Tk300, fans poured in despite the July heat. There’s something about Bangladesh vs. Pakistan that ignites passion—rivalry, pride, and redemption are all woven into every over.
