Bangladesh vs Pakistan LIVE SCORE UPDATES 1st T20: Bangladesh eye winning start; toss at 5 PM IST
The white-ball rivalry between Bangladesh and Pakistan is set to resume on Sunday, July 20, as the two sides face off in the first T20I at the iconic Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. This three-match series arrives at an interesting moment for both camps—Bangladesh are riding a wave of confidence, while Pakistan are stepping into a transitional phase with a young core and new leadership.
The Tigers return home after a morale-boosting 2-1 series win in Sri Lanka, a tour where their batting unit showed far more intent and adaptability than seen in recent months. Led by Litton Das, Bangladesh will look to make the most of their home conditions, crowd energy, and recent form to strike the first blow in the series.
Pakistan, however, have history on their side. They completed a clinical 3-0 sweep over Bangladesh in their last T20I series just weeks ago, albeit on home turf. This time, they arrive in Dhaka with a fresh-looking squad headed by Agha Salman. With senior players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Naseem Shah rested, the spotlight will be on Pakistan's next-gen talents to step up and make a strong start under the guidance of newly appointed white-ball coach Mike Hesson.
Both teams are building toward the next T20 World Cup, and this series offers valuable game-time to test their depth, flexibility, and readiness for high-stakes white-ball cricket. The opening contest, set against the backdrop of a buzzing Dhaka crowd and challenging subcontinent conditions, could set the tone for a gripping series ahead.

Root hits his 38th Test ton, 13 hundreds away from Tendulkar's record of 51
Root has equalled Sangakkara's record for most career Test centuries to place himself joint fourth in the all-time list Aditya Kaushik New Delhi Former England skipper Joe Root continues to enjoy a record-breaking run in the fourth Test of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against India in Manchester. Batting on Day 3 of the Test during England's first innings, Root began the day by surpassing Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis in the all-time list of top Test run-scorers, moving into the number three spot behind only Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting. But the Englishman did not stop there—he converted his strong start into a magnificent century to hand England complete control of the match. This is Root's 38th career Test hundred, taking him level with Kumar Sangakkara in the all-time list of most career Test hundreds at joint fourth. He now needs three more Test hundreds to equal third-placed Ricky Ponting (41 centuries), seven more to match Jacques Kallis (45 centuries), and 13 more to equal Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar's mammoth record of 51 Test centuries.

A Landmark Signing for a Young Club United FC, also known as Dubai United, is a rapidly emerging Emirati professional football club. Founded just under three years ago in September 2022, the club immediately set ambitious goals for itself. Under the leadership of President Ilie Cebanu, the club has focused on laying a strong foundation both on and off the pitch. Playing home matches at Dubai's ISD Stadium Pitch, United FC has paired its investment in infrastructure with impressive on-field results. In their inaugural 2022-23 season, United FC earned promotion from the UAE Second Division by finishing second, boasting the best offensive and defensive records in the league. Their dramatic end to that campaign included crucial victories over Fleetwood United FC and Al-Hilal United FC, securing their spot in the UAE First Division for the 2025-26 season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo With such rapid progress, the appointment of Andrea Pirlo signals United FC's desire to establish themselves as a formidable force in the UAE. Club President Ilie Cebanu expressed his enthusiasm: 'We are proud to welcome Andrea to the United FC family. He embodies the values and ambitions of our club, and we believe he will be a key figure in taking us to the next level.' The club's official statement added: "United Football Club is delighted to officially announce the appointment of Andrea Pirlo as the new head coach of the first team. A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006 and one of the most iconic midfielders of his generation, Pirlo brings with him a unique footballing vision and valuable coaching experience gained at Juventus and Sampdoria. His arrival marks an exciting new chapter in United's history and reflects the club's growing ambitions on the football pitch in the UAE. " Andrea Pirlo: From Midfield Maestro to Managerial Mind Andrea Pirlo, now 46, is widely regarded as one of the best deep-lying playmakers in football history. Known for his sublime vision, impeccable technique, and exceptional free-kick ability, Pirlo's playing career is decorated with top honors. He played 116 matches for Italy, becoming a key figure in their 2006 FIFA World Cup triumph, where he earned the Bronze Ball and was named in the Team of the Tournament. Beyond that, he starred in multiple European Championships and World Cups, earning recognition among the world's elite midfielders. At club level, Pirlo's journey took him from his hometown Brescia to Inter Milan, then to AC Milan, where he won two Serie A titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies. Later, at Juventus, he collected four consecutive Serie A titles and domestic cups before finishing his playing career with a stint in MLS at New York City FC. He retired in 2017 after a remarkable 22-year professional career. Pirlo transitioned to coaching in 2020. His managerial timeline includes: Juventus (2020-2021): Taking over from Maurizio Sarri, Pirlo won the Supercoppa Italiana and Coppa Italia in his first year. Despite this, he was dismissed after one season due to a fourth-place Serie A finish and a round-of-16 exit in the Champions League. Fatih Karagümrük (2022-2023): Pirlo signed a one-year contract with the Istanbul-based Turkish Süper Lig club. Under his guidance, the team finished 9th. The club decided not to renew his contract before the season's end. Sampdoria (2023-2024): Appointed in June 2023 to lead the recently relegated Serie B club back to Serie A, Pirlo faced a challenging campaign. Sampdoria finished seventh and were eliminated in the promotion playoffs. A poor start to the following season led to his dismissal in August 2024. Despite these mixed managerial results, Pirlo remains a respected football thinker, known for his unique style and vision on the pitch. What Lies Ahead for Pirlo and United FC? Pirlo's appointment is more than a routine coaching hire; it is a statement by United FC about their ambitions in the UAE's football scene. For Pirlo, this role offers a significant opportunity to rebuild and redefine his coaching philosophy in a new environment. Having been out of management since August 2024, when he left Sampdoria, Pirlo arrives in Dubai refreshed and eager. The club confirmed that he has already arrived and will start training the team soon in preparation for the upcoming season. His first official match in charge is scheduled for September 20 against Al Dhaid.
