The 5th match of the tri-nation series has commenced as Bangladesh has won the toss and have elected to bat first. There has been a slight alteration in the team line-up as Sunzamul Islam is back in place of Saifuddin.

After winning their first two games with a bonus point in each one, Bangladesh are already in the final and will now play these games as a matter of practice for the ultimate game. Regardless of that, the Tigers will look to win the game and consolidate their place as the favourites here. 

Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque Bijoy opened the batting for the Tigers, but the latter got out without troubling the scorers much. After playing 7 balls, he scored a run and returned to the pavilion. 

Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal held together and have taken then score to 66/1 after 14 overs. Both of them are set now and will look to capitalize on their respective starts.
