Bangladesh v West Indies: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045 hopes of continuing the winning run - Cricket News Update
The newly appointed skipper of Bangladesh cricket team, Mushfiqur Rahim, has high hopes attached with his team, especially after trouncing the West Indies in the one-off Twenty20 match, played at Dhaka, on Tuesday, October 11,
2011.
Rahim wants http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 to continue their winning momentum in the three match One-Day International series against the Caribbean side, which will begin with a game at Shere Bangla National Stadium Mirpur, on Thursday, October 13,
2011.
Hoping that his side builds on the win, Rahim said, “West Indies were favourites to win this match, but it all comes down to who plays better on the day, and today we played well in all three departments, and we look forward to
doing that in the one-dayers as well.”
West Indies were forced to bat first by Rahim, who won the toss and choose to field. The touring team piled 132 runs on the board from their quota of allotted overs, while the host chased down the total with three wickets in hand.
Considering head to head records, both teams have faced each other 17 times in ODI’s. The Caribbean side holds the edge over their opponents by prevailing in most of these matches; however, the Bengal Tigers have started to pull
the strings back and have won three out of their last five outings against the West Indies.

for the first ODI remains uncertain.

“We have been playing without http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 since the World Cup, so we are used to it now. A lot of other guys have got the opportunity, so it's no excuse,” said Sammy.
