Bangladesh wins toss, elects to field against Pakistan in 1st ODI

DHAKA — Bangladesh captain called correctly at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium and immediately inserted Pakistan in to bat, setting the stage for a chase-heavy start to the three-match ODI series on Wednesday. The decision came moments after the visitors handed ODI debuts to four uncapped players, injecting fresh blood into a side looking to stamp authority early in the contest. With the series opener officially under way, both camps will now gauge a freshly prepared Dhaka surface that is expected to offer assistance to the new-ball bowlers before easing out for batting.
