The Bangladesh men's cricket team toured the United Arab Emirates in May 2025 to play against the United Arab Emirates national team.[1] The tour consisted of three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2][3] The matches were played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.[4] In May 2025, the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) announced the schedule of the series.[5] The series originally had only two matches scheduled, but a third match was added to the series after the completion of the first T20I.[6][7]
Bangladesh won the first T20I by 27 runs,[8] helped by Parvez Hossain Emon's maiden T20I century.[9] United Arab Emirates leveled the series by winning the second T20I by 2 wickets,[10][11] which was their first win over Bangladesh in the format.[12][13] United Arab Emirates won the third and final T20I by 7 wickets,[14] winning the series 2–1.[15][16] This was the second series victory for United Arab Emirates over a full member team and Bangladesh's third series defeat against an associate member team in the format.[17]
