DHAKA: Pakistan have won the crucial toss and obviously opted to bat first against Bangladesh in the 43rd match of the ICC World Cup 2019 at Lord’s on Friday (July 5).
The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30pm (Bangladesh Time)
"One chance, we need to score a lot. We know the margin is big, but no changes to our team. The loss against West Indies was disappointing. But we want to finish on a high note," Sarfaraz says after toss.
Mashrafe says, "We would've loved to bat first. Mahmudullah is back for Sabbir, and Rubel is not playing, Mehidy is playing. We've been playing well against Pakistan, but they are starting to take off. Won't be easy. It's my last World Cup match 100%."
