West Indies have won the toss against Bangladesh and elected to bat first in their second game of the tri-nation series in Ireland. Windies have one change in their lineup from the previous match as batsman John Campbell, who struck 179 in the series opener against Ireland, is out with a sore back.
Bangladesh have dropped opener Liton Das with Soumya Sarkar set to open the innings when they do bat. All-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin has been picked for Bangladesh's first match in the tournament with Taskin Ahmed not included in the lineup after he had featured in the warm-up match against Ireland Wolves on Sunday.
Bangladesh: Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Soumya Sarkar, Sabbir Rahman, Mohammad Mithun, Mustafizur Rahman, Mehedi Miraz, Mohammad Saifuddin
West Indies: Shane Dowrich, Shai Hope (wk), Darren Bravo, Roston Chase, Jonathan Carter, Sunil Ambris, Ashley Nurse, Jason Holder (capt), Kemar Roach, Sheldon Cotterell, Shannon Gabriel
