T20 WC: Bangladesh Win Toss, Bat against Pakistan in Do-Or-Die Clash

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan with the winner assured of a semi-final spot at the Twenty20 World Cup on Sunday, reports AFP. 

The Netherlands dumped out South Africa in the opening Super 12 match of the day at the Adelaide Oval to ensure a final-four place for India, who play Zimbabwe in Melbourne later, from Group 2.

Both Pakistan and Bangladesh, level on four points, needed the Dutch victory to infuse power in their bid for a semis spot and now play a virtual quarter-final.

Bangladesh have made three changes from their previous loss to India through and bring in Soumya Sarkar, Nasum Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain in the team.

Babar Azam's Pakistan remain unchanged from the victory over South Africa that made their campaign come alive after they lost their first two matches to India and Zimbabwe.
