http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 have won the toss in the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh and have opted to have a bat first at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, December 3, 2011.
The tourists have made one change to their lineup, which sees pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aizaz-Cheema-c961 being replaced by left-armer quick, Sohail Tanvir. The hosts have also tinkered with their composition which meant that Elias Sunny was handed an ODI debut, while there was
also a place for Imrul Kayes. The two men making way were http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Farhad-Reza-c56788.
The Men IN Green so far have been impeccable in the series, where they defeated the Bengali Tigers in the OnlyT20 by a margin of 50-runs, and also inflicted another heavy loss to their opponents in the first ODI at the same venue.
The hosts have endured a turbulent week, where they have yet to pass the 100-run mark. They managed just 85 in the T20 game, and kept their abysmal run after being bowled out for 91 in the opening 50-over game.
The batting lineup needs to take up the added responsibility in order to conjure up a first win of the series. The inclusion of Sunny will be a booster to the bowling attack as the left-arm spinner started his international career in fine fashion against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, where he picked up a five-wicket haul in the recent five-day game.
The track at the Shere Bangla stadium has assisted the bowlers of either camp, where the batmen have struggled to score freely. While the T20 game saw a rough track offering considerable turn, the first ODI had grass covered on the pitch which helped the
likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 to extract bounce and pace.
With the Bengali opting for a spin attack, the surface again will offer plenty of assistance to the slow bowlers.
