The first T20I of England’s tour of Bangladesh 2023 will be the fourth international match involving Test Playing Nations to be played on March 9, 2023. The first-ever Bangladesh-England bilateral T20I will follow three Test matches between New Zealand and Sri Lanka, India and Australia and South Africa and West Indies in Christchurch, Ahmedabad and Johannesburg respectively.

Set to be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in the afternoon, the match will kick-start the first-ever bilateral T20I series between these two teams. This venue, meanwhile, will be hosting a T20I after almost three and a half years.
Having hosted a total of 12 Bangladesh Premier League 2023 matches earlier this year, the stadium will be hosting its 100th T20 on Thursday. While no team has ever been able to touch the 200-run mark in a T20I here, there have been as many as 12 such instances in T20s played here.
