http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 – 2nd ODI – Toss Report
The West Indian tourists are set to retain their dominance on the proceeding 3-match One Day International (ODI) series, as they gear up to take on the Bangladeshi hosts in the second ODI bout, which begins today, October 15, 2011, at the Shere Bangla National
Stadium, Mirpur in Dhaka.
For the third time on the competition, Bangladesh’s Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, has won the toss but will bring in a change to his previous decisions, after opting to bat first at the Mirpur venue.
However, Rahim will have to make a good use of his decision, since a defeat would mean a series win for the Caribbean tourists, who have already earned a 40 runs triumph at the series opener on Thursday.
For the matter, both the sides will have to retain an imposing performance at their end, but will have to bank on their star performers to turn the odds in their team’s favour.
Opting to bat first for the first time on the series, Bangladesh will have to come up with an imposing chase for the West Indian batters, and rely heavily on the bowlers to restrict the opponent from reaching the mark.
During the preceding game, Bangladesh was faced with a competitive chase worth 299 runs by the West Indian batters since not many of the hosts’ bowlers added in much effect to the team.
However, if the Asian Tigers make the same mistake on today’s bout, they might see trouble ahead of them since West Indies currently holds a striking and hyped batting arsenal.
For the matter, Skipper Rahim, will once again have to rely on his team’s preceding game’s top scorers, including, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shakib-Al-Hasan-c2492, to replicate their performance for the current match, in order to pile up a strong total for
the opponent.
On the other hand, with Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 back on the West Indian roster, he will hope for his able bowling squad to restrict the batting side under an accessible mark.
For the task, much will be relied on the new ball bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758, who will be complemented by Devendra Bishoo’s imposing spins and Marlon Samuels’ off-break bowling.
