New Zealand will be the destination for the three teams as they look to get the perfect warm-up to the showpiece tournament.
Bangladesh, having recently swept United Arab Emirates in a two-match T20I series, will take on New Zealand and Pakistan twice before the final.
The Blackcaps will face off against Tigers on October 9 and 12 and Pakistan on October 8 and 11, with the grand finale slated for October 14.
After a disappointing defeat in the seven-match T20I series, Pakistan will look to bounce back in the tri series.
All the matches will be played at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
