My guess - it's a power play, the loser wants to undermine both captains. Both Mushfiq and Riyad are on line to be axed from the ODI team (one of them is very likely to be benched to make place for Hridoy in the third ODI). He wants both Tamim and Shakib to be on weak grounds, so neither stands up for his old buddies.
XI forecast for match tomorrow -
Tamim
LKD
Shanto
Shakib
Mushfiq
Afif
Riyad
Miraz
Taijul
Taskin
Fizz
After a long time, we're going with two pacers in an ODI. Taijul is expected to make contributions with bat as well. With Taskin at #10, hopefully it will be a fairly long tail.
After the loss to England in 2016, we won all 7 home ODI series in last 7 years. Hope England won't break our winning spell again.
