Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bat first against Afghanistan in the second ODI of the three-match series on Saturday (November 9) in Sharjah.

Bangladesh make two changes to their squad. One is forced as Mushfiqur Rahim has been ruled out of the match due to finger injury. Jaker Ali takes his place. The other change is left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed comes in for leg-spinner Rishad Hossain. Nasum missed the first match due to visa complications.

On the other hand, Afghanistan have gone for the same XI for the match. That means they are playing with 4 spinners again- Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, AM Ghazanfar, and Nangeyalia Kharote.

In the first ODI, Afghanistan picked up a commanding 92-run win with a fabulous show in bowling. AM Ghazanfar ran riot through the whole batting lineup of Bangladesh as he took 6 wickets in that match.
