Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat first in the opening match of T20 series against Pakistan in Lahore.
Captain Mahmudullah is hoping to lead his side to a series win away to a strong Pakistan outfit in the shortest format of the game.
But a few key players are missing for the visitors who finally agreed to tour Pakistan in three phases after several rounds of talks due to security concerns.
Teams:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Naim, Afif Hossain, Liton Das(w), Mahmudullah(c), Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Mithun, Aminul Islam, Shafiul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Al-Amin Hossain
