Bangladesh opt to bowl in must-win game against Windies

Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah Riyad won the toss and opt to bowl first against West Indies in the Super 12 match of T20 World Cup in Sharjah on Friday.

Bangladesh made two changes in the squad. Soumya Sarkar comes in place of Nurul and Taskin Ahmed replaces Nasum Ahmed.

West Indies also brought two changes. Roston Chase makes his international T20 debut replacing Lendl Simmons while Jason Holder comes in place of Hayden Walsh.
