Fresh off a commanding 2-1 comeback win in Colombo, where they overturned an early series deficit to crush Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the decider, Bangladesh are buzzing with confidence.
However, history favours the men in green. Pakistan boasts a commanding head-to-head record, having won 19 of the 22 T20Is played between the two nations, including a 3-0 sweep in Lahore earlier this year.
