Bangladesh will bat first in their first One-Day International against Afghanistan in Chattogram after skipper Tamim Iqbal lost the toss.

Afghan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi said during the toss that they opted to bowl first because of the early moisture on the pitch.

Tamim said he was happy with batting first.

Bangladesh have brought in three changes to their XI from their last ODI against Ireland as Shakib Al Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and Afif Hossain are back in the lineup replacing Rony Talukdar, Ebadot Hossain, and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury.

Afghanistan have picked three seamers and three spinners.
