Chasing 170 runs, the home side finished their 20-over quota with 157 for seven to suffer the 12-run defeat, despite a 72-ball 103-run opening stand between Dilara Akter [49] and Sobhana Mostary [46] providing a good platform. 

The three-match T20I series will be played entirely in Sylhet. The matches begin on December 5 with the following matches on alternate days.
