"We will field first, no particular reason, there could be some rain around. We have one extra bowler and we will bowl first. A must-win situation, but playing against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka isn't easy. There is no room for complacency, it's a bit different to pakistan and we'll have to adjust. One change, Nasum replaces Afif Hossain," Shakib told Dominic Cork at the toss.
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka is happy to bat first as the expects the ball to do a bit later under the floodlight.
"We would have batted first, it'll seam and spin a bit under lights. The rules in ODIs mean it's difficult to defend totals, but we do have class bowlers like Pathiran and Theekshana, that helped us fight back against Afghanistan. The talk is about trusting yourselves and following the process. The guys have been delivering and that's key to being a good side. Same team for us," he said.
