Bangladesh opened their World Cup campaign with a convincing 8 wicket win over Bermuda at the Antigua Recreation Ground in Antigua. In a perfect dress rehearsal for the two teams rematch for the world cup proper, Bermuda won the toss and decided to bat. Despite some early hiccups, they recovered well to post 205 for 8 in the allotted 50 overs. Bangladesh rested pacers Mashrafee Murtaza Masri and Shahadat Hossain Rajib for this match. Unfortunately, Tapash Baishya and Syed Rasel failed to impress and the spinners looked a little rusty.

The Bangladesh innings featured an unbeaten century (104 off 112) from opener Shahriar Nafees, his fourth in one-day internationals. He enjoyed two contrasting partnerships. The match winning partnership of 134 runs with Saqib (42 off 70) was followed by a whirlwind 58 runs second wicket partnership with Aftab Ahmed (40 off 27).

Bangladesh takes on Canada in their next match on February 28.
