Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss and elected to bat first in the opening game of the three-match one-day international series against Sri Lanka on Sunday.

The host is bolstered by the return of all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who missed the side’s recent ODI series in New Zealand and a two-match Test series in Sri Lanka.

Alongside Shakib, fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was also back in the side after missing the test series in Sri Lanka.

All-rounder Afif Hossain was chosen over Mahedi Hasan, who played in Bangladesh’s ODI series against New Zealand.

Sri Lanka came to the ODI series against Bangladesh with Kusal Perera as captain and a relatively young side.

The series is important for both teams with qualification to the 2023 World Cup in mind.

It is particularly important for Sri Lanka, who was swept 3-0 in their only series of ODI Super League against West Indies.

Bangladesh is in sixth position in the standings with 30 points after beating West Indies at home by 3-0 and losing the away series against New Zealand by the same margin.
