Bangladesh opted to field first with two changes to the line-up against Pakistan in a bid to secure a spot in the final of the Asia Cup. The Tigers brought in Mahedi Hasan, Nurul Hasan Shohan and Taskin Ahmed in place of Nasum Ahmed and Saifuddin for their must-win clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Pakistan are fielding an unchanged side from their win against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh won the last two of the three outings against Pakistan in the format, including a series win in their backyard. A bit of moisture in the air too, and Simon Doull chimes in, saying the ball will swing and seam early.
