Bangladesh have won the toss and will field first against Pakistan in the Asia Cup final in Mirpur on Thursday.
An unchanged Bangladesh come into their biggest tournament finalwith back-to-back wins against Asian giants India and Sri Lanka and will be gunning for the head of the other one, Pakistan, to clinch their first major title.
Pakistan have replaced bowler Wahab Riaz with wicket-keeper Sarfraz Ahmed.
In nine previous battles against Pakistan in the tournament, Bangladesh failed to see any success.
The Tigers may find some inspiration from the match against Pakistan in 1999 World Cup, the only of the 30 matches they won against the South Asian giants.
Bangladesh won the ICC Trophy in 1997 and then made it to the final of a home tri-series against Sri Lanka in 2009. But, if they win this one, it will be arguably their biggest win in ODIs.
