BAN vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1st Test, Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 1st Test of the Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2026 between BAN vs PAK to be played in Dhaka.

Pakistan are ready to tour Bangladesh for a two-match Test series in May. The action will start with the first game on May 8 (Friday). This game will be held at Shere Bangla National Stadium, starting at 9:30 AM IST.

The last time these two teams played a Test series, Bangladesh thrashed Pakistan 2-0. Bangladesh recently beat Pakistan 2-1 in the ODI series and did well against New Zealand as well. They will be confident in their own conditions.

Bangladesh have formed an excellent pace unit, which will trouble the visitors. Shan Masood will lead the visitors. They will bank on the form of Babar Azam, who is coming off a record-breaking PSL 2026. But the injury to Babar can hurt Pakistan, as he will not feature in the first game. However, Pakistan have added some new faces to the squad, and it can be a challenging tour for them.

BAN vs PAK: Pitch Report

The wicket in Dhaka is slow and low, which tends to break down as the game goes forward. The slowness of the wicket will bring in most help for the spinners.

Batting will become challenging as the game goes on, which is why it is ideal to bat first here. Early on, the bounce will be consistent, but it might get uneven as the test goes forward.
