Tigers asked to bat first

Bangladesh are batting first in Wednesday's tri-nation series game against New Zealand, being played in Dublin.

The Tigers' first game against Ireland was washed out in rain, while the Kiwis won their first match against the hosts.

It's a must win game for Bangladesh, who will be boosted by the return of skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza.
