The players are out for the national anthems - Bangladesh's first and followed by that of UAE
Litton Das - Not a lot, how we play the game is very important, it's a process which would count. We would have batted first, the pitch looks good and spin could be effective in the second innings. I think it will get slower as the match progresses. We've trained hard, working on some of our weaknesses.
Mohammad Waseem - We will bowl first. Pitch looks good, looks fresh and could help the bowlers, looking to restrict them to a score around 150. We're used to these conditions and everyone is prepared well. Some new faces in our team today.

18:20 Local Time, 14:20 GMT, 19:50 IST: Hello and welcome to the first T20I between Bangladesh and UAE. A couple of T20Is is supposed to be played between the sides. Bangladesh definitely will have the upper hand. And would look to shine through under their new skipper - Litton Das. UAE don't get much exposure against the big boys and this is also a fantastic stage for them to come good. Bangladesh have made a few changes to their side and as mentioned would look to do some course correction ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2026. Toss and sheets in a while.
United Arab Emirates Squad: Alishan Sharafu, Muhammad Waseem(c), Asif Khan, Ethan DSouza, Rahul Chopra(w), Aryansh Sharma, Dhruv Parashar, Muhammad Jawadullah, Sanchit Sharma, Simranjeet Singh, Haider Ali, Matiullah Khan, Muhammad Zuhaib, Saghir Khan, Muhammad Zohaib
