Stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bat first as Bangladesh sought a clean sweep in the third and final One-Day International against Australia at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday.

Bangladesh were forced to make changes after regular captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz was ruled out following a head injury sustained from a Nathan Ellis bouncer during the second ODI. Off-spinner Mahedi Hasan replaced fast bowler Nahid Rana, who was rested for the match.

Speaking at the toss, Shanto said Mehidy was recovering well but remained under medical observation.

Bangladesh have already secured their first-ever ODI series victory over Australia, winning the opening match by 86 runs and the second by five wickets, with both results determined under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method due to weather interruptions.

Australia, meanwhile, made two changes as they looked to avoid a series whitewash. Fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis and all-rounder Oliver Peake were included in the side, replacing opener Matthew Short and pacer Nathan Ellis.

A victory would complete a landmark 3-0 series sweep for Bangladesh against the five-time world champions.
