LIVE – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 v West Indies – 1st ODI – Toss Report
Having marked an opening win at the recent one-off Twenty20 (T20) match against the West Indies tourists, Bangladeshi hosts are all geared up to take on the Caribbean side in the first One Day International (ODI) bout from the 3-match series, which kicks off today, October 13, 2011, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, in Dhaka.
Aiming to remain on the same lines as of the preceding match, Bangladesh Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, has won the toss and will be fielding first.
As for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/D-Ramdin-c1299.
The ODI squad will also feature Caribbean’s spin maestro Devendra Bishoo, fast bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anthony-Martin-c45051.
On the other hand, the Asian Tigers Captain Rahim will be leading an unchanged squad which featured on Tuesday’s only T20 game.
Skipper Rahim, who has once again chosen to field first, will be aiming to retain a similar strategy which his side opted for in the preceding game.
However, with a different setting for today’s match, Rahim will have to rest his confidence on Bangladesh’s new ball bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naeem-Islam-c2053, to bag some early wickets on the West Indies top-order.
On the other hand, Ramdin, who has a crucial responsibility ahead of him, will hope for his opening order, built on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804, to retain their ground for some good overs, which would aid the Caribbean side to pile up a competitive chase against the hosts.
At the same time, if West Indies is to aggregate a strong tally, much will be rested upon Bishoo, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233, and Kemar Roach, to defend the mark in order for the tourists to earn their first win of their tour.
