Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super Four opener in Lahore on Wednesday.
Bangladesh was forced to make a change from their last match against Afghanistan after Najmul Hossain Shanto injured his hamstring and was ruled out of the tournament, making way for Liton Das.
Pakistan made one change from their rained-out match against India in the group stage, bringing in the all-rounder Faheem Ashraf in place of Mohammad Nawaz.
India and reigning champions Sri Lanka are the other two teams in the Super Four, with the top two advancing to the final on September 17 in Colombo.
