Unchanged Bangladesh opt to bat

The Tigers won the first match by four wickets and then whacked Afghanistan past by 88 runs in the second game to come one step closer to a clean sweep of the series.
With super league points at stake, Bangladesh indeed have no reason to be relaxed as every point in the bilateral series is important despite winning the series.
The hosts reached a magical 100 points and moved to the top of the ICC ODI Super League after clinching the second ODI.
From that point of view, Bangladesh knew every point is now important for them.
