Tigers bat with three changes against Pakistan
Bangladesh made three changes to their playing eleven and opted to bat first on winning the toss against Pakistan in their all-to-play-for T20 World Cup fixture in Adelaide on Sunday.
Soumya Sarker replaced yasir Ali Rabbi, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed replaced pacer Shoriful Islam and pacer Ebadot Hossain replaced pacer Hasan Mahmud in the eleven.
Shakib, who won the toss, said everyone was calm but excited with the opportunity to have a shot at semifinal berth following Netherlands' shock victory over South Africa.
"Looks to be a dry wicket, put the runs on the board and defend," Shakib said at the toss. "Everyone is calm and excited."
Pakistan are playing the same eleven.
