Bangladesh lost their one and only warm-up match by seven wickets, with the Shaheens having 91 balls left.
Bangladesh’s squad is as follows: Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Jaker Ali, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana, Nasum Ahmed, Parvez Hossain Emon, Rishad Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, and Towhid Hridoy.
