DHAKA, May 30, 2025 (BSS)-Mehidy Hasan Miraz returned to the playing XI as 
Bangladesh would bowl first in the second T20 International game against 
Pakistan at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today.

Pakistan captain Salman Agha won the toss for the second straight time and 
opted to bat first as usually.

The match is crucial for Bangladesh to stay alive in the three-match series 
after losing the first game by 37 runs.

Bangladesh skipper Liton Das who now lost five straight tosses (two against 
Pakistan and three against UAE), said they don't mind bowling first because 
the wicket is pretty good.

"I don't mind bowling first. Wicket was pretty good in the last game, hope 
this one is as well. We have to play good cricket here in all departments," 
Liton said after the toss.

Mehidy Miraz however replaced Mahedi Hasan in the side and will play his 
first T20 game since his last match against West Indies in December, last 
year.

Pakistan also made one change in a bid to confirm the series with a match to 
spare. Shahibzada Farhan came into the place of Fakhar Zaman.
