Abu Dhabi: After losing three early wickets the team tigers are trying to fix the innings with the bat of Mohammad Mithun and Mushfiqur Rahim.

The both batsmen have picked up their fifty.

Early, Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan in Asia Cup on Wednesday.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hassan and Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir are not in the playing eleven.

The unpredictable sides make for great knockout games, so the Bangladesh-Pakistan encounter in Abu Dhabi, which will determine India’s opponents in the final, is unlikely be any different.

Pakistan can be a dangerous side in crunch situations while Bangladesh would see making the Asia Cup final a big step in their progress as an ODI force, especially with the World Cup now eight months away.

Bangladesh: Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mominul Haque, Imrul Kayes, Mahmudullah, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rubel Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman.

Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Imam Ul Haq, Babar Azam, Sarfraz Ahmed (c, wk), Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Junaid Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi.
