Bangladesh vs Pakistan 1st ODI Live Stream: How to Watch

The Bangladesh vs. Pakistan first ODI takes place Wednesday, March 11, and viewers in the United States and other countries can watch the match live via streaming or television.

Less than two weeks after their elimination from the T20 World Cup, the Pakistan cricket team travels to Bangladesh for a three-match one-day international series. The first ODI is set for Wednesday, March 11, and can be viewed in the United States and Canada, as well as in Pakistan and Bangladesh, streaming live online as well as on television channels.

The match marks the return of Bangladesh to international cricket after they were excluded from the T20 World Cup in the midst of political tensions with India, the country that hosted the World Cup tournament. The complicated situation was sparked when the Kolkata Knight Riders of the Indian Premier League signed top Bangladesh bowler Mustafizur Rahman to their squad for the upcoming IPL season.

The BCCI, India’s governing cricket body, then ordered KKR to drop Rahman, which the team did. The Bangladesh team then refused to play their World Cup matches in India, citing security concerns. The ICC, the world governing body in charge of the World Cup, refused to move its matches to Sri Lanka, forcing Bangladesh out of competition.

Pakistan, however, supported Bangladesh through the controversy, and now welcomes the smaller country — which until 1971 was part of Pakistan — back to the international cricket scene.
