LIVE – Bangladesh v West Indies: 3rd ODI – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 rout Windies for 61 – Match Update
Bangladesh crushed the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zahur-Ahmed-c98518 Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong in Bangladesh on Tuesday, October 18, 2011.
West Indies had beaten the hosts in the previous two matches, winning the series by 2-0 and aimed to whitewash the opposition.
However, the Bangladesh team came out to play for their pride today and stunned the opposition with an extremely good bowling performance.
Toss was won by the hosts’ skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, who opted to field first. There had been plenty of rain in Chittagong in the past few days, which suggested that there will be assistance for the bowlers today.
The wicket was covered for the past 17 hours, locking the moisture beneath. This allowed the bowlers to pressurise the opposition’s batsmen and bowl them out cheaply for 61 runs.
In form Windies’ opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LMP-Simmons-c1843 was rested for today’s game, but the move did not turn out to be a good one for the team.
The innings was opened by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441, but the pair struggled to cope up with the bowling friendly conditions.
Hyatt was the first man to be dismissed in the innings after scoring just three runs. He was followed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804, who managed five runs in his short stay at the crease today.
Just one run later, Powell was also sent back to the pavilion. He looked solid in the middle, but failed to make most of the start to his innings and was dismissed for 25.
Wickets kept on tumbling in the innings, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, who collected two runs in his short outing.
Wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/D-Ramdin-c1299 also failed to make an impression, getting dismissed for four.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Carl-Gary-Greenidge-c49220 Brathwaite scored 11 runs, becoming only the second player in the innings to reach double figures. He did not last long though and the entire team was sent back to the pavilion for 61 runs.
Star all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan did a fabulous job with the ball, picking up four wickets in the match.
