Pakistan bat first in T20 v Bangladesh

Pakistan have elected to bat first against Bangladesh in their one-off Twenty20 match.

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in Friday's one-off Twenty20 match.

Uncapped left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman and pace bowling allrounder Soumya Sarkar will make their T20 debuts for Bangladesh.
