Bangladesh lost the toss to New Zealand and were sent to bat first in their third match of World Cup Cricket 2023 being held in Chennai
New Zealand's captain, Kane Williamson, makes his return to the team after recovering from injuries, taking the place of Will Young.
Bangladesh's skipper, Shakib Al Hasan, said he was confused about whether to bat first or not but ultimately welcomed the opportunity.
