Toss Bangladesh chose to bat v Afghanistan

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat in bid to level the series in the second T20I against Afghanistan in Dehradun.

While Afghanistan retained the team that thrashed Bangladesh in the series opener on Sunday, Bangladesh made two changes. They brought in allrounder Soumya Sarkar and left-arm quick Abu Hider in place of Abu Jayed and Abul Hasan.

Asghar Stanikzai, the Afghanistan captain, reckoned that the pitch might not change much in the second innings.

Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Liton Das, 3 Soumya Sarkar, 4 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Sabbir Rahman, 8 Mosaddek Hossain, 9 Rubel Hossain, 10 Nazmul Islam, 11 Abu Hider
