Bangladesh v West Indies – 2nd ODI Preview
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 is all set to pay its dues against the West Indian tourists, after suffering a 40 runs rout at the series opener on October 13. However, the hosts are now all geared up to contend against the Caribbean visitors in the second One Day International
(ODI) match, which kicks off today, October 15, 2011, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, in Dhaka.
Bangladesh, under the Captaincy of their newly found Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 on the current
match since the ODI series comes with a short stint, with just 3 matches, giving the Asian Tigers a restricted span for retribution before the sides take on each other in the final 2 Test fixtures.
As for West Indies; although the team was without Skipper Darren Sammy in the preceding game, but he is expected to make a return in today’s bout and must surely be a proud leader of the Caribbean squad, which marked an imposing win against the hosts in
the last game, complements to the unit’s combined contribution under both the departments of batting and bowling.
However, today’s match will be a vital competition for the Caribbean squad, since a win would patent a series triumph for the tourists, having already marked an opening triumph at the 3-match series.
At the same time, the hosts will also aim to fall hard on the West Indians in order to earn a strong footing on the competition which might lead the game to a final decider on October 18 in Chittagong.
Coming to the squads – the Caribbean roster will come out with a few changes, including a probable replacement of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441, since the former had to call off his innings in the preceding match after being retired hurt due to a hamstring
injury. However, the change is not yet confirmed since Barath is expected to be fit for today’s match.
Another probable change on the team will be of Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danza-Pacino-Hyatt-c52396.
The remaining squad stays unchanged, kicking off with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LMP-Simmons-c1843, who posted a superb batting stint on Thursday, with a top score of 122 runs; his career best performance.
Other major batting stars on the team, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754, also hold their spots on the team’s ranks after both the players added in superb contribution to the Windian massive total of 298 runs on Thursday.
At the same some time, the team’s bowling arsenal also remains unaffected and includes, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Dwayne-Russell-c44235, Devendra Bishoo, Samuels and Pollard.
On the other hand, Rahim’s Bangladesh squad might come with a probable single change of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Ashraful-c76740, who remain ineffective for the team during the last match.
However, for Bangladesh to dominate the tourists, Skipper Rahim will have some high hopes on his batters http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imrul-Kayes-c64265, and Shakib Al Hassan, all of whom posted some big scores for Bangladesh on the last match.
Under the bowling department, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rubel-Hossain-c2378 will be the highlight after he bagged 3 wickets on the Thursday’s game, but other bowlers on the squad will have to push hard as well in order to escort Bangladesh to a worthy triumph.
