Dhaka, 30 May -Mehidy Hasan Miraz returned to the playing XI as Bangladesh would bowl first in the second T20 International game against Pakistan at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today.
Pakistan captain Salman Agha won the toss for the second straight time and
opted to bat first as usually.
The match is crucial for Bangladesh to stay alive in the three-match series
after losing the first game by 37 runs.
Bangladesh skipper Liton Das who now lost five straight tosses (two against
Pakistan and three against UAE), said they don't mind bowling first because
the wicket is pretty good.
"I don't mind bowling first. Wicket was pretty good in the last game, hope
this one is as well. We have to play good cricket here in all departments,"
Liton said after the toss.
Mehidy Miraz however replaced Mahedi Hasan in the side and will play his
first T20 game since his last match against West Indies in December, last
year.
Pakistan also made one change in a bid to confirm the series with a match to
spare. Shahibzada Farhan came into the place of Fakhar Zaman.
