ST. GEORGE'S: Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and put the West Indies in to bat in the second One-Day International of the three-match series at the National Stadium in Grenada on Friday.
Needing victory to keep the series alive following the home side's three-wicket win in the opening match on Wednesday, the tourists have made one change to their final eleven with experienced left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak replacing young fast bowler Taskin Ahmed.
Despite the complete failure of the top order of the West Indies batting that left them reliant on Kieron Pollard and Denesh Ramdin to reach the target two days earlier, there is no change to the Caribbean side, although a shuffling of the batting positions may be in the offing.
Unsettled weather and a forecast of rain during the day suggest that the Duckworth/Lewis Scoring Method will come into play, a prospect that influenced Mushfiqur into choosing to bowl first.
