Pakistan Wins Toss, Elects to Field in Final ODI Against Bangladesh

On Sunday, Pakistan won the coin toss and elected to bowl first against Bangladesh in the third and final ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
The three-match series is currently leveled at 1-1 after Bangladesh won the first game by eight wickets and Pakistan secured a 128-run victory in the rain-affected second ODI.
Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi announced debuts for Ghazi Ghori and Saad Masood, replacing injured Hussain Talat and Shamyl Hussain, while Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed returned to the side.
Bangladesh retained the same side for the third successive game, maintaining faith in their three-man pace attack featuring Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, and Mustafizur Rahman.
With the series deadlocked at 1-1, Sunday's match serves as the ultimate decider for both Pakistan and Bangladesh to claim the trophy after competitive opening rounds.
