Bangladesh in United Arab Emirates 2022/23

This fixture is a bilateral Twenty20 International cricket series, hosted by the United Arab Emirates against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team. The arrangement functions primarily as a preparation tour for Bangladesh and a development opportunity for the UAE, an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council. Bangladesh holds Full Member status. The Emirates Cricket Board governs the UAE team, while the Bangladesh Cricket Board manages the Bangladeshi side.

The encounter is defined by its straightforward format. It typically consists of two or three matches without group stages or playoffs. There is no promotion or relegation involved, as these are international bilateral fixtures rather than a domestic league structure. The series lacks a specific title sponsor or a permanent trophy name, distinguishing it from named tournaments.

Historically, Bangladesh dominated the fixture. The first official bilateral Twenty20 International series took place in September 2022, known as the "UAE vs Bangladesh Friendship Series 2022," which Bangladesh won two matches to none. Prior to this, the teams had only met in multi-team tournaments. A significant shift occurred in May 2025, when Bangladesh toured the UAE for a three-match series held at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The first match was won by Bangladesh by 27 runs. The second match was won by the UAE by two wickets, marking the UAE's first-ever win against Bangladesh in men's Twenty20 Internationals. The third match was won by the UAE by seven wickets. The UAE won the series two matches to one. This victory marked the UAE's first-ever bilateral Twenty20 International series win against a Full Member nation.
