Pakistan and Bangladesh will amp up their preparation for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 with a three-match series at Lahore.

The series initially consisted of three ODIs and three T20Is, and was subsequently revised to five T20Is, including a couple of matches at the iconic Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad, and now has been further truncated to three T20Is. Now all the games will just be played in Lahore.

The much-anticipated T20I action in Pakistan will begin on 28 May, followed by fixtures on 30 May and 1 June, respectively.
