Bangladesh have been sent to bat first as the Netherlands won in the toss in their Super 12 opener of the ICC T20 World Cup in Hobart on Monday.

Bangladesh team management has opted for three regular pacers alongside a spinner.

In the pace department Taskin Ahmed will be leading from the front along with his fellow colleagues Mustafizur Rahman and Hasan Mahmud.

However, in the spin bowling department Shakib will be playing the key role alongside the part-timers like Soumya Sarkar and Mosaddek Hossain.
