In the 38th World Cup match today, Bangladesh vs. Sri Lanka at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi, Shakib al Hasan won the toss and chose to field first.
Bangladesh has had a challenging time in this year's ICC Cricket World Cup, with only one victory in their seven matches, which was against Afghanistan.
In their most recent match against Pakistan, Bangladesh faced a heavy defeat, as their batsmen struggled to set a competitive total, managing only 204 runs.
The bowlers also found it tough to contain the opposition, as Pakistan successfully chased the target in just 32.3 overs.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, had a reasonably good World Cup campaign until they suffered back-to-back losses against Afghanistan and India in their last two matches.
Their 302-run loss to India eliminated them from the tournament, and they are no longer in the race for a spot in the semi-finals.
