DHAKA, Bangladesh, April 22: Pakistan captain Azhar Ali won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in the third and last one-day international on Wednesday.

In its bid to avoid the clean sweep, Pakistan made three changes, including a debut for 19-year-old Sami Aslam, a left-hand middle-order batsman who can bowl medium pace. He's in for Sarfraz Khan.


Fast bowler Umar Gul and left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar replace Rahat Ali and Saeed Ajmal respectively for their first international matches since December.
