Windies vs Bangladesh, 2nd ODI, 11/12/2018




Bangladesh are primed to win this ODI series against West Indies with a game to spare and although Roston Chase laughed off the possibility at the pre-match press conference. 

it is undeniable that his team has had a torrid time all tour. 

( It is no stretch to imagine that they might suffer another batting meltdown on Tuesday.)


Bangladesh : 

1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Liton Das, 3 Imrul Kayes, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Soumya Sarkar, 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Mehidy Hasan, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 10 Rubel Hossain, 11 Mustafizur Rahman


West Indies :

 1 Kieran Powell, 2 Shai Hope (wk), 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Roston Chase, 7 Rovman Powell (capt), 8 Keemo Paul, 9 Devendra Bishoo, 10 Kemar Roach, 11 Oshane Thomas



( 10.25pm One can only imagine how Mushfiqur Rahim must be feeling right now. He played a top knock that put his team on the brink of a win that would've sealed the series. But then, he perished at the last hurdle. Looking to heave away a full toss. )


Caught at deep midwicket. Shades of that World T20 clash against India. Shades of what happened against Afghanistan in India. At least the third time that he's had to endure heartbreak after coming so close. Each of those dismissals ended in catches to deep midwicket, and each of them to full tosses,



            Bangladesh's recovery from 42 for 2 was also encouraging. Mushfiqur Rahim let Liton Das and later Shakib Al Hasan play shots while he provided the anchor role.

              Soumya Sarkar also struck the ball well during his short stay, before Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah brought them victory quickly,
