India win toss, opt to field first
DHAKA: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl in the World Twenty20 group two Super-10 match against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Friday.

India remained unchanged from the side which beat the West Indies on Sunday.

A win will send India into the semi-finals from this group after title-holders the West Indies beat Australia by six wickets in an earlier match on Friday.

Bangladesh made two changes from the side which lost to the West Indies in their opening match on Tuesday, bringing back Nasir Hossain and Shamsur Rahman in place of Mominul Haque and Sabbir Rahman.

Two top teams from each of the two groups will advance to the semi-finals. The final will be played in Dhaka on April 6.

Teams:
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Ravichandran Ashwin, Suresh Raina, Mohammad Shami, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh.

Bangladesh: Mushfiqur Rahim (capt), Al-Amin Hossain, Anamul Haque, Shamsur Rahman, Mohammad Mahmudullah, Nasir Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza, Ziaur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Sohag Gazi, Tamim Iqbal. (AFP)
