Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to field first in the final of the tri-nation tournament against the West Indies in Dublin. After the toss, skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza informed about Shakib Al Hasan's absence.
There was a question mark over Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib’s availability for the final against West Indies today after the left-hander was forced off the field with what appeared to be a side strain during the Tigers’ last match against Ireland. It appears that the Tigers think tank decided not to take risk about the ace all-rounder.
Will Bangladesh be able to break their final curse? The Tigers have lost all four ODI finals they have played in.
