Bangladesh win toss, opt to bowl

DHAKA: Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and decided to bowl first in the last match of three match series at Sher-e-bangla Stadium on Wednesday.

The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00pm local time.

Bangladesh have added the legspinner Jubair Hossain to their squad for the third ODI. ""He was taken to increase the bowling options," Faruque Ahmed, the chief selector, told ESPNcricinfo. "We will have a look at the wicket tomorrow and take a call on him."

Ajinkya Rahane opted to train after being dropped for the last ODI. The rest of the team went through "a couple of quiet days," Ashwin said. The morale isn't as high as it normally is within the Indian camp.

"If there is no counter, then what can we do? Can we kidnap him?" says R Ashwin on the ever-present Mustafizur Rahman threat

"We spoke in the dressing-room just before going out to training [on Tuesday]. We have told to be as serious as we would be if we had lost the first two games. We will not give an inch."

Nasir Hossain says Bangladesh are guarding against complacency.
