The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) opted not to send any of their Indian support staff, to avoid visa issues and political tensions between India and Pakistan.[6] Less than two weeks from the start of the tour, the series was thrown into doubt, after the Bangladesh government had not yet given clearance for the team to travel.[7] However, on 21 October 2019, the BCB confirmed the squads for the tour.[8] The following day, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the itinerary for the tour.[9]

Pakistan beat Bangladesh in the first two WT20I matches, to take an unassailable lead, and winning the series with one game left.[10] Pakistan won the final WT20I by 28 runs, winning the series 3–0.[11] In the WODI series, Pakistan won the first match by 29 runs.[12] Bangladesh won the second match by one wicket, to level the series 1–1.[13]
