West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second T20 International against Bangladesh at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Eying to seal the three-match series in a bid to avoid the tour sweep, the visitors fielded an unchanged side that thrashed Bangladesh by eight wickets in the first game at Sylhet.
Bangladesh also remained unchanged as they aim to keep the series alive. A win in this match also will keep them in track to inflict a tour sweep against any side for the first time in their history. Bangladesh so far have never won a series, comprised with all three formats of the cricket.
Earlier Bangladesh whitewashed West Indies in two-match Test series and comfortably won the ODI series by 2-1.
