Toss Bangladesh opt to field vs Pakistan

Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to field first in Dhaka. For the second game in a row, Mehidy Hasan Miraz called correctly and decided to insert Pakistan in. Victory for the home side would seal a series win with a game to spare, following on from their thumping win over Pakistan on Wednesday. They go into the game unchanged from that side.

Pakistan’s captain Shaheen Shah Afridi acknowledged his team had put in a poor performance on Wednesday, and were looking to make amends. He insisted he backed his batters after Pakistan were bowled out for 114, and to that end, Pakistan make no changes to the batting line-up. The only tweak is a bowling one, as Haris Rauf comes in for Abrar Ahmed.
