Winning in the West Indies and Sri Lanka is no small feat,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Das made it clear that the series against Pakistan will not be easy, as their players have become familiar with the conditions by playing in the BPL.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pakistan in Mirpur won&#8217;t be easy. They have a varied bowling attack and understand our conditions, especially through the BPL. But we believe we can win if we play smart cricket,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Das expressed uncertainty about how the pitch will behave against Pakistan but noted that continuous rain in Dhaka could make batting conditions difficult.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how the Mirpur wicket is going to behave during the Pakistan series. I think it is raining in Dhaka every day, so the wicket can be difficult for batting in such conditions,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>For the unversed, the Pakistan will play three T20Is against Bangladesh on July 20, 22 and 24, with Dhaka&#8217;s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium set to host all the matches.<\/p>\n<p>The series marks a rematch between the two sides after their last encounter in May, where Pakistan sealed a 3-0 clean sweep at home.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officially announced ticket prices for the upcoming series, with prices ranging from Tk 300 to Tk 3,500, catering to a wide range of fans.<\/p>\n<p>The BCB has prioritised a digital-first approach for ticket distribution. Starting July 15, tickets will be available exclusively online through the official eTicket platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JOIN OUR WHATSAPP CHANNEL Bangladesh captain Litton Das on Wednesday described the upcoming T20I series against Pakistan as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271785,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[103052,29392,36793,103050,1406,103048,103049,103051,103053,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-271784","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-bangladesh-captain-statements","9":"tag-bangladesh-cricket","10":"tag-bangladesh-squad","11":"tag-bangladesh-vs-pakistan-t20is-2025","12":"tag-cricket","13":"tag-litton-das","14":"tag-litton-das-on-pakistan-series","15":"tag-litton-das-press-conference","16":"tag-pakistan-t20i-tour-of-ba","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114873745042560976","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
