Tigers win toss, elect to bat against SL

Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has won the toss and opted to bat first against Sri Lanka in the 6th match of the Tri-nation series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Thursday.

The hosts who are aiming to maintain their winning streak ahead of the final, made one change from the previous match, dropping left arm spinner Sunzamul Islam and bringing in pace-bowling all-rounder Abul Hasan.

Hasan last played for Bangladesh in 2015 against Pakistan, reports the Associated Press.

Lankans, on the other hand, have made two changes, bringing in Danushka Gunathilaka in the place of injured Kusal Perera.

Also, fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera replaced pacer Nuwan Pradeep, who is dealing with an injury.

Bangladesh Squad: Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza, Abul Hasan, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.

Sri Lanka Squad: Upul Tharanga, Danushka Gunathilaka, Dinesh Chandimal , Kusal Mendis, Asela Gunaratne, Niroshan Dickwella, Thisara Perera, Akila Dananjaya, Suranga Lakmal, Lakshan Sandakan, Dushmantha Chameera.
