Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has won the toss and opted to bowl first in their crunch World Cup tie against West Indies on Monday.

The Tigers have brought in Liton Das in place of Mohammad Mithun while the Caribbean side have replaced Carlos Brathwaite with Darren Bravo.

It is a must win game for both the sides. Bangladesh are now eighth in the table with three points. West Indies, on the other hand, have the same number of points but they are sixth due to a better run rate.
