Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live: Here’s what the captains said!

Shakib: “If we put runs on the board, it will put pressure on them. We want to replicate what we did against Afghanistan but we are facing the No. 1 team in the world so we need to play our best. We know what their strengths and weaknesses are. We have to face those challenges but we are up for those challenges. Litton replaces Shanto.”

Babar: “We would have batted also. But the pitch has a little bit grass so we want to use that. We plan to look after all the fast bowlers. We are playing in the heat. To be honest I am looking forward to the match. Will try to break the record but will look to win the match. Last night we saw the conditions helped fast bowlers so we think about adding a fast bowler. Sometimes in the night and the first innings it helps the fast bowlers.”

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live: All set for toss!

Bangladesh win the toss and opt to bat. Litton Das replaces Najmul Hossain Shanto, who misses out due to an hamstring injury.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live: Litton Das returns!

Litton Das is back for the Pakistan game! He is likely to replace the injured Najmul Hossain Shanto in the XI, who is out of the tournament.
