The rivalry will intensify when Bangladesh takes on Pakistan in the second T20I of the three-match series to be played at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. This high-octane thriller will be played on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, from 5:30 PM IST.

The first T20I ended absolutely in favour of the host Bangladesh side, as they rocked Pakistan by seven wickets. First, bowling them out for just 110, with Taskin Ahmed picking three and Mustafizur Rahman grabbing two wickets. Later, Parvez Hossain Emon scored a fighting 56 not out to help Bangladesh chase the total down in 15.3 overs as they finished the game with ease. Bangladesh at home are highly competitive, and playing against them is always a challenge. With one win already in their pocket, the Litton Das-led side will be hoping to earn an unassailable lead in the series on the back of their strong lineup.

Conversely, the visiting Pakistan side, led by Salman Ali Agha, are without the senior pros Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah. This was evident by the fact that only Fakhar Zaman, who scored 44 in the first match, could assess the pitch and bat according to the situation, while the rest of the batters faltered quite badly, as they couldn't even put up a par score on the board. With the bowling attack looking highly inexperienced, except for Salman Mirza and Abbas Afridi, no other bowler could pick up a wicket.

Now, with some high-profile action on the cards from Dhaka, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for BAN vs PAK 2nd T20I.

3. Taskin Ahmed

Why Will Taskin Ahmed Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-Captain?

With excellent pace and bounce, Taskin Ahmed was breathing fire in the first T20I as he grabbed the crucial wickets of Saim Ayub, Abbas Afridi, and Faheem Ashraf, gathering figures of 3/22 in his 3.3 overs. The right-arm pacer, who has been one of the prime players in Bangladesh cricket, has 85 wickets to his name in his overall T20I career in 75 games, where he averages 23.22, while his economy is 7.57.

Taskin has the ability to single-handedly change the course of a game with his seam deliveries that can cause the opposition trouble. Now, after an excellent job in the first T20I, expect Taskin to continue doing the favour for Bangladesh. Therefore, Ahmed can be a crucial C/VC pick for your fantasy team.

2. Fakhar Zaman

Why Will Fakhar Zaman Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-Captain?

Fakhar Zaman was the lone ranger for Pakistan in the first T20I, where he could only manage 44 before unfortunately getting run out after a mix-up. In the game, where he played 34 deliveries, he found six boundaries and a maximum to score runs at a strike rate of 129.41. 

Overall, in his T20I career, Fakhar has amassed 1,893 runs in 94 matches at an average of 22.81, while striking at 132.56, to go along with his eleven half-centuries. Fakhar's calmness at the top, combined with his experience, makes him a valuable asset for any side, as he can play as both anchor and aggressor when required. Therefore, Fakhar Zaman could be an important pick as C/VC for the fantasy team.

1. Parvez Hossain Emon

Why Will Parvez Hossain Emon Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-Captain?

Parvez Hossain Emon played a striking 56*-run knock off 39 deliveries to help Bangladesh to victory, with three boundaries and five maximums included, where he struck runs at a strike rate of 143.58. Emon has been highly aggressive, even on tough wickets, as he has the ability to change his gears instantly. Moreover, going by the stats, he has 360 runs to his name in 16 T20I matches at an average of 24 and a strike rate of 141.17.

Additionally, he has also scored two half-centuries and a century in his short-form T20 career so far. If we look at his statistics further, he has 1485 runs in 64 20-over matches, with an average of 24.34 and a strike rate of 129.58. At the top of the order, he is an extremely valuable asset and can be crucial for any side he plays for. With his striking ability, Parvez Hossain Emon can be a valuable pick in your fantasy side as C/VC of your team.
