Toss news: Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah won the toss and decided to bat first in the opening game of the three-match Twenty20 series against Pakistan on Friday.

Bangladesh made four changes to the squad from its disappointing Twenty20 World Cup, including a debut to Saif Hassan. Bangladesh lost all of their matches in the Super 12 portion of the tournament.
