Bangladesh bowl first against West Indies

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field first in their Cricket World Cup clash against West Indies in Taunton on Monday.

The match started at 3.30 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time).

It is the fifth game of Bangladesh in the cricket’s biggest extravaganza after they accumulated three points from four games. 

Like Bangladesh West Indies also have three points in four games after winning one, losing two and a washed-out game.

West Indies are the side against whom they would be confident because of their recent result-they have beaten West Indies three straight times in quite dominating fashion including the final in the recent tri-series in Ireland to become an unbeaten champions.

But the West Indies side that they faced off in tri-series is a vastly different side with the inclusion of their premier players like Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and others.

Nonetheless Bangladesh will be confident since they even beat a full-strength West Indies side in quite several times.

Both teams met each other in ODI cricket for 37 times, amongst which West Indies won 21 and Bangladesh 14, while two other matches were rained out. In World Cup, They took on each other four times and West Indies won three matches while the other match was washed out.

Therefore it’s the match also for Bangladesh to set their World Cup record right.
