Opener Iqbal smashed a calculated 58 off 51 balls, plundering eight fours and two lofty sixes, while Islam returned unbeaten on 50, as the Bengali Tigers comfortably went past West Indies’ middling total of 199 with seven wickets and more than nine overs to spare.
After restricting the tourists to a paltry 199, Iqbal and debutant Anamul Haque gave the Tigers a solid 88-run start. Iqbal looted the Windies spearhead pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758 for a six and two fours in an over that went for 17, to reach his 24th ODI fifty, before being caught by Pollard at backward point off spinner Sunil Narine, on the first ball of the 16th over.

The rookie Barisal offie was well complemented by the experienced left-arm spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Razzaq-c41689, who returned with figures of 3 for 39 in his spell of ten overs.
