SYLHET, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and elected to bowl first in the series-deciding third game against West Indies on Friday.
The hosts made two changes to the side, dropping Imrul Kayes and Rubel Hossain and replaced them with Mohammad Mithun and Mohammad Saifuddin in the match that potentially could be captain Mortaza's last home match.
The ODI captain hinted at retirement after the 2019 World Cup and no one-day Internationals for Bangladesh are scheduled at home.
Aiming to win its first ever bilateral series since its victory against Bangladesh in 2014, West Indies brought up Fabian Allen, replacing fast bowler Oshane Thomas.
Bangladesh won the first match by five wickets before West Indies leveled the series with a four-wicket victory.
