Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to field first against India in another Super Eight clash of T20 World Cup.
The match is being played at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua on Saturday.
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.

During the toss Rohit said, “We wanted to bat and that's what we got. Looks like a good wicket and depends on how much the sun is beating down and making the pitch slow. Important to assess the conditions quickly. We are playing the same team. Important to stay in the present and not worry about other things.”
While Najmul said, “We would like to bowl first, we would like to restrict them to a small total and that is the plan. We know the conditions here and also about the wind factor. Looks a good wicket. 150-160 will be a good score I reckon. We have one change. Taskin is not playing.”
