Bangladesh wins toss and bats first in search of ODI series sweep against
Australia
MIRPUR, Bangladesh (AP) --- Bangladesh stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto
won the toss and elected to bat first in the third and final cricket one-day
international against Australia, aiming for a series-sweep on Sunday.
Regular captain Mehidy Hasan was ruled out of the game after being hit on his
head by a bouncer of Nathan Ellis in the second game.
Bangladesh also rested fast bowler Nahid Rana, brining in offspinner Mahedi
Hasan. Shanto said at the toss that Mehidy is okay but is being monitored by
doctors.
The hosts won the first match by 86 runs and second game by five wickets, both
on the DLS method, to register its first ever ODI series victory against
Australia.
The tourists made two changes as it searched for a consolation victory. Pacer
Ben Dwarshuis and allrounder Oliver Peake were included, replacing opener
Matthew Short and pace bowler Ellis.
