PAK vs BAN: Big Match, No TV Broadcast for Indian Cricket Fans
If you're excited about the Pakistan vs Bangladesh 1st T20I in 2025, there's a catch for Indian viewers. This highly anticipated match won’t appear on your regular sports TV channels. Instead, you'll need to go digital—streaming is the only option.
The clash is set for Sunday, July 20, 2025, at 5:30 PM IST at the ever-popular Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. But this time, live streaming is exclusively on FanCode, a platform that’s locked behind a paywall. No complimentary access here—you’ll need to buy a monthly or yearly FanCode plan for entry. There’s one workaround: Vi and Jio SIM users can also access the streams, but again, you’ll have to register and subscribe within those platforms too.
Whether you're at home, commuting, or at work, you can stay connected—you’ve got options to stream on your phone, tablet, laptop, PC, or even your smart TV. That means fans aren’t tied to one device or location, but you’ll need active internet and your paid FanCode account ready.
No TV? Here’s How to Catch Every Ball Online
This isn’t just a one-off decision. The agreement covers the entire three-match T20I series, so traditional TV viewers are out of luck throughout the Pakistan tour of Bangladesh. The next two matches are set for July 22 and July 24, continuing the trend: digital streaming is your only ticket in India.
Why this move? Cricket broadcasting rights are complicated deals, and sometimes series like this fall through the cracks of major Indian networks. FanCode has snapped up these streaming rights, so it’s the only place you’ll catch every run, wicket, and boundary live.
For those unfamiliar, FanCode has become a go-to for niche or international sports events that don’t make it onto large TV networks. Yes, it requires a subscription, but for die-hard fans wanting uninterrupted action, that’s where the party’s happening this season.

Don’t forget—the same rules apply for the second and third T20Is. If you’re planning to follow the whole series, it may be worth snagging the annual pass, depending on your appetite for cricket.
No more channel flipping or last-minute searches for a working TV stream. This time, all eyes are on your devices, and FanCode’s got the keys!
