Pakistani national cricket team in Bangladesh in the 2014/15 season

The tour of the Pakistani national cricket team to Bangladesh in the 2014/15 season took place from April 15 to May 10, 2015. The international cricket tour was part of the 2014/15 international cricket season and included three ODIs , one Twenty20 and two test matches .

The ODI series was the first series that Bangladesh won against Pakistan. The first ODI was the first since the 1999 Cricket World Cup , which Bangladesh won against Pakistan.

prehistory

Heading

The tour was originally planned for January, but has been postponed due to the continuation of the Future Tours program . Pakistan also demanded financial compensation from Bangladesh for its own losses, which resulted after the attack in Lahore and the associated obligation of Pakistan to carry out its home tours in neutral territory. Furthermore, they called for a more intensive exchange between the youth teams of the two countries in Pakistan in order to be able to find their way back to normality in cricket there too. Bangladesh only partially agreed to these demands, but this made it possible to hold the tour.

classification

Both teams previously played at the Cricket World Cup 2015 and were eliminated in the quarter-finals. Pakistan played an ODI series in New Zealand as the previous tour , Bangladesh hosted Zimbabwe from October to December 2014 . The last tour of the two teams against each other took place in the 2011/12 season in Bangladesh .
