West Indies Vs Bangladesh

What happened today: Today in West Indies Vs Bangladesh match, Windies seal first Super Eights win by 99-run victory over Bangladesh.The West Indies batting seemed to be sleepwalking in their match against Bangladesh and were in some trouble at 55/3 after 21 overs. But some good batting from Sarwan and a cameo from Lara saw them to 230. Once Bangladesh were 52/6 in reply it was all over, although they scraped together 131 in the end.

West Indies 230/5 in 50 overs(RR: 4.60)
Bangladesh 131 all out in 43.5 overs( RR : 2.99 )


West Indies vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan top-scored with 91 not out before their fast bowlers took command to defeat.It can be said that Bangladesh allowed West Indies to get too many. It can also be said that they were the second-best Asian side in the tournament, they carried that mantle with a respectable amount of professionalism and that they showed once and for all that they are minnows no more. West Indies have one game left, against another side already knocked out, but they have far less to take from a tournament billed as the greatest thing to happen to West Indian cricket than Bangladesh. It's been that kind of World Cup for them.

What's on the menu tomorrow: Let talk about tomorrow's 47th Match, Super Eights: Australia v New Zealand at St George's - Match scheduled to begin at 09:30 local time (13:30 GMT). Thats all from me,Good morning/evening/afternoon/night, wherever you may be.
