Pakistan tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747: 1st ODI, Toss Report - Bangladesh bat first
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, Bangladesh captain has won the toss and opted to bat first in the first One Day International of the five-match series being played at the Shere Bangla National stadium in Mirpur today, December 1, 2011.
Pakistan have made two changes to their squad from Tuesday’s series opener, bringing in veteran middle-order batsman Younis Khan for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-c90628 Tanveer with wicketkeeper batsman Sarfaraz Ahmed.
Good news for the Bangladesh fans is that hard hitting top order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alok-Kapali-c43787 has been
rested for Shahriar Nafees.
It is a bright sunny day in Dhaka with maximum temperature anticipated to remain 28 degree Celsius.
The wicket at Shere Bangla has been read as a good batting wicket with a tinge of green that would favour the pace bowlers. It is being expected that would offer good pace and movement to the fast bowlers; however, the spinners might not get a lot from the
strip today. But the last match played at the same venue just a day before was dominated by the spinners of both sides. One can once again expect it to be a spinners day at Mirpur.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in all the three series. And a comfortable 50-run win in the tour's opening T20 match on Tuesday would have boosted their
confidence further. However, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 batting line-up was to some extent exposed by the Bangladeshi spin attack, and the tourists must be careful with their batting if they are to emulate their UAE series performance.
