DHAKA: Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat in the final and third One Day International at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur Wednesday.

The day-night match will begin at 1:00am (Bangladesh time)

This is the first time Mashrafe had won the toss this series. Both sides are unchanged.

Having won the second one-dayer, Bangladesh wants to achieve 3-0 series whitewash against Zimbabwe today.

Bangladesh whitewashed Zimbabwe 3-0 at home in December, 2014. Tigers then whitewashed Pakistan 3-0 at home.

Bangladesh then beat India 2-1 at home. Bangladesh then beat South Africa 2-1 at home. They have also qualified for the ICC Champion's Trophy.

Bangladesh previously whitewashed Zimbabwe back in 2006.

If Bangladesh whitewashes Zimbabwe today, it will be the sixth clean sweep in Tigers’ history.

Earlier in history, Bangladesh also whitewashed Kenya and New Zealand.
