Bangladesh, on the other hand, made two changes to the team for the match, which could be former skipper Shakib Al Hasan's last outing in the format. Pacer Khaled Ahmed and left-arm spinner Taijul Islam replaced seamers Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana, following the 280-run loss in the series-opener in Chennai last week.
