Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat in the 6th official warm-up game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. England captain Jos Buttler said England wanted to bowl anyway, so the result of the toss is actually a win-win scenario for both the sides.
There’s been plenty of chaos surrounding Bangladesh cricket but amid the turbulence they managed to win the warm-up game against Sri Lanka even though they took the field without stalwart Shakib Al Hasan. England’s first warm-up fixture, on the other hand, against India was washed out without a ball being bowled.

Bangladesh (Batting XI, Fielding XI): Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
