Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan lost the toss and were sent to bat first in their make-or-break clash against Sri Lanka in the ongoing Asia Cup Thursday. The Tigers made three changes to their playing XI.
Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mohammad Naim and Mohammad Saifuddin were rested to pave way for Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Ebadot Hossain.
