Meanwhile, Shaheen made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi during the Asia Cup in 2018 and has since become one of the top new ball bowlers in all formats of the game. So far, he has picked up 105 wickets in 27 Tests and 64 in 52 T20Is.

In the match, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan. The Bangla Tigers brought back Towhid Hridoy in place of Mahedi Hasan to their playing eleven. On the other hand, Pakistan made three changes bringing in Fakhar Zaman, Agha Salman and Usama Mir in place of Imam-ul-Haq, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz.
