June 20, 2019 14:49

Australia have won the toss and have opted to bat at Trent Bridge.

"It's a very good surface," Aussie captain Aaron Finch said.

"We would have liked to bat first as well, it's a good wicket," Mashrafe said after the toss.

"But we are chasing well in the last few days. The boys are pretty much confident, especially from the last match."

"We have got three changes. Marcus Stoinis is back from the injury, Zampa is back and so is Nathan Coulter-Nile. Marsh, Behrendorff and Richardson are out," Finch said about the changes in the Australian side.

Bangladesh have two changes. Mohammad Saifuddin is out because of the back spasm. Mosaddek Hossain hurt his shoulder. So he is out as well. Sabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain come into the side.

Playing XIs:

Australia: Aaron Finch (capt), David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Liton Das, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman
