Bangladesh will bat first in the final ODI against New Zealand in Chattogram. Mustafizur Rahman is back in the playing XI for this match.
New Zealand captain Tom Latham won the toss again and chose to bowl. It is the third time in this series that he has won the toss. The pitch looks fresh and is expected to be good for batting.
Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz was fine with batting first. He said, “I wouldn’t mind batting first here. It’s a beautiful pitch to bat on.”
The series stands at 1-1 after two games. This match will decide the winner.
Bangladesh made two changes. Mustafizur Rahman comes in for Taskin Ahmed. Tanvir Islam replaces Rishad Hossain. For New Zealand, Ben Lister comes in for the in-form Blair Tickner, as the latter is ruled out with a nibble.
Both teams now look set for a close fight in the decider.
