Bangladesh opt to bowl first in the 1st T20 vs Pakistan
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.

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
