246/9 just 25 runs short of a confirm win. Gotta work hard in the field to win.

247 is one of the most inspiring numbers to bat for the sake of win!!!

[abz..+]

246 its good score

[Murad]

Bangladesh innings (50 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	Tamim Iqbal	c †Fletcher b Roach	0	1	0	0	0.00
	0.1 and Roach strikes first ball! fuller length delivery outside the off stump, pitched closed to the off stump line and Tamim has a go at it, ball clips the outside edge and goes straight to the keeper. Now that's a start! 0/1
	Junaid Siddique	c Lewis b Bernard	36	47	3	0	76.59
	16.5 Siddique departs! fuller length delivery outside the off stump, they dried up the runs and under pressure Siddique tries to go over the top but the shot is not timed well enough and Lewis at mid-off takes it cleanly. This is good stuff from West Indies 74/2
	Mohammad Ashraful	run out (Reifer/†Fletcher)	57	95	5	0	60.00
	30.6 Miller to Shakib Al Hasan, short ball and Shakib cuts it away towards cover - Ashraful had been struggling but they decide to go for the single. The throw comes in over the stumps and Fletcher quickly takes off the bails - they go upstairs and the RED light flashes 128/4
	Raqibul Hasan	b Roach	12	23	2	0	52.17
	23.1 and he gets the breakthrough. He makes the ball move back in a touch at a fuller length outside the off stump. Raqibul is looking to run it down to third man without quite opening the face of the bat. He suffers as he gets an inside-edge onto the stumps and has to walk back 97/3
	Shakib Al Hasan*	c Dowlin b Roach	54	60	3	0	90.00
	47.2 gone! fuller length delivery outside the off stump, Shakib moves across a long away and tries to scoop it over the fielder at short fine leg but fails to clip it cleanly and Dowlin at short fine leg nicely settles under it 230/7
	Mushfiqur Rahim†	c Sammy b Lewis	11	18	0	0	61.11
	35.5 gone! short delivery, was close to the off stump line - Rahim goes back and cuts hard but only manages to slice it straight to the fielder at backward point. Bangladesh five down. 149/5
	Mahmudullah	c Bernard b Miller	42	39	2	2	107.69
	46.5 tossed up outside the off stump and Mahmudullah drives away from his body. Not a well timed shot and the ball lobs up towards point. Bernard there moves across quickly, dives to his left and takes it cleanly. Fantastic catch to end a fantastic innings 228/6
	Naeem Islam	not out	7	7	0	0	100.00
	Abdur Razzak	lbw b Roach	0	2	0	0	0.00
	47.5 Roach bags another one! good length delivery on the middle and leg stump line, Razzaq tries to work it away on the leg side but fails to make contact and the ball hits the pad right in front of the stumps. Loud appeal and umpire Doctrove had no hesitation in raising his finger. 231/8
	Syed Rasel	b Roach	7	7	0	0	100.00
	49.3 5-for! full and on the stumps - you miss, I hit. Rasel opens up and hits across the line but fails to make contact and the ball crashes into the stumps. Bangladesh 9 down. 241/9
	Rubel Hossain	not out	1	1	0	0	100.00
	Extras	(b 1, lb 8, w 10)	19
	Total	(9 wickets; 50 overs)	246	(4.92 runs per over

pretty good batting from the middle order batsmen today

[alibangali]

good recovery in the end but bowling has to be tight, this is a flat pitch so its a pitch for spinners, we will need to get them in early and our fielding has to be immaculate

[PoorFan]

Good recovery, somewhat to bowl at. Not bad so far boys, keep up pressure.

[sbsash]

Come on boys lets bowl them out for less than 150.

[alibangali]

good batting by junaid, ash, shakib and riyad.
well done lads

[Shobha]

OMG did you guyz see that!!! on the replay of rasel wicket you can see some of the bd players and staff yelling at him. all i see is loads of hands all over the place lol

Yes, for WI.

[magic boy]

glad to see both Mahmudullah and Sakib playing well together !!! very good sign for BD cricket

[simon]

never expected that from Ryad, 42 from 39,impressive!

I say 183

[zimfan]

nice effort shakib seems to be in good form, Bangladesh spinners should be able to get some good turn on this slow pitch

[Dhakablues]

Yeah,, even WI dont know if thats a good score or not... It all depends on Saqib/Riad/Razzaque now... they can strangle the WI side. Without the predictable comments,, I would say, Saqib will have to use as much spinners he can to get the WI.. My bet is with Rasel though... I want to see what he does today.

[Ashfaq]

Gpood score. Now bowl tight. Raz must rediscover his mojo.

[alibangali]

curator said its a 300 run pitch so we need to bowl well and field brilliantly to make up the extra runs that we did not score.

In last few games, we saw new partnerships flourishing. Hope Sakib will be the MOM today.

[nycpro96]

im on for the first time today

[Rabz]

I think this is good to defend score...
outfield slow as hell, pitch is turning pretty well..
we have Sakib,Razzak,Riyad and Nayeem plus Ash if need be.
