Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bowl first in the opening match of the three-match T20I series against Pakistan in Mirpur on Sunday. 


Bangladesh just came home after a long Sri Lanka tour, where they lost the Test and ODI series, but won the T20I series. 

The hosts made one change to their last playing XI that faced Sri Lanka, bringing Taskin Ahmed in to replace Shoriful Islam. 

Pakistan has been one of the most consistent teams in the T20I. In the last meeting, they beat Bangladesh at home. Now, they are at the home of the Tigers.

Pakistan XI: Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris (wk), Hasan Nawaz, Salman Agha (capt), Mohammad Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf, Abbas Afridi, Salman Mirza, Abrar Ahmed

Bangladesh XI: Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das (capt & wk), Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, reports UNB.
