Bangladesh opt to bat against India in tri-series ODI

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan surprised one and all when he decided to bat first against India after winning the toss in a crucial tri-series tie.

Yet, Shakib decided to bat first after winning the toss. Naturally, India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was "happy" to chase a total instead of defending it.


While India fielded an unchanged side from their Tuesday's loss to Sri Lanka, Syed Rasel replaced Shafiul Islam for Bangladesh from the XI that lost to Sri Lanka on Monday.
