Bangladesh wins toss, elects to field against Pakistan in 1st ODI
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) --- Pakistan awarded ODI debuts to four players and
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field Wednesday to open the three-match
series.
Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain and Abdul Samad formed the
new-look Pakistan top order. Farhan was rewarded for his outstanding
performance at the T20 World Cup, where he scored 383 runs.
Both teams went with three fast bowlers in a hope the wicket will suit the
pacemen. Bangladesh included Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman,
and Pakistan's pace trio had captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Wasim and
Faheem Ashraf.
Bangladesh recalled Tanzid Hasan in place of Soumya Sarkar. Litton Das and Afif
Hossain were included in the middle-order.
Pakistan dropped experienced Babar Azam and Saim Ayu b for the series after
their disappointing T20 World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland at the T20 World Cup after it refused to
travel to India amid security concerns.
