Bangladesh beats Windies in 3rd ODI, wins series





Bangladesh beat the West Indies by 18 runs and won their one-day international series 2-1 on Saturday.



Brief scores:



Bangladesh 301-6 in 50 overs (Tamim Iqbal 103, Mahmudullah 67).



West Indies 283-6 in 50 overs (Rovman Powell 74 not out, Chris Gayle 73, Shai Hope 64).



It went so quiet in the rest of Warner Park that you could clearly hear the Bangladesh dressing room celebrating their first away ODI series win in nine years. West Indies fought till the end, but ultimately went down by 18 runs in a contest that was decided by the side with fewer mistakes and more nerve.

দ্বিতীয় টেস্টে কিসের লক্ষে মাঠে বাংলাদেশ দল - BD Cricket Today





Bangladesh-West Indies 2nd Test begins Thursday in Kingston. After a shameful innings defeat in the 1st Test touching a new low in their cricketing history, Shakib Al Hasan’s Bangladesh Cricket team will take on hosts West Indies in the 2nd and last Test match beginning on Thursday in Kingston in a hope to salvage their reputation and pride. 



In the first Test at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, Tigers suffered an embarrassing innings and 219 runs defeat scoring their ever-lowest test total 43 runs in 18.4 overs in the first innings and 144 runs in the 2nd innings, replying to Caribbean’s 407 runs.   



West Indian pacer Kemar Roach made the major damage in the Bangladesh first innings with a remarkable figure of 5/8 off five overs, including the wickets of Mushfiqur Rahim, skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad -- all for ducks.



This was the second shortest first innings in Test history. Australia's 60 all out against England in 2015, was top of the list by a long time before the match. They made 60 in 18.3 overs. It is the lowest total in any innings of a Test in the last 44 years – since India were bowled out for 42 against England.



It is Bangladesh’s lowest total in the format since gaining Test status in 2001, a good 19 runs short of their previous lowest (62) against Sri Lanka in 2007.



On completion of two-match test series, Bangladesh will play a three-match ODI series beginning on July 22 in addition to three-match T20 series against the West Indies, but the participation of Bangladesh ODI captain Mashrafe in the series now became uncertain as his wife is sick.



Bangladesh Cricket Board will wait until Friday, the day before the ODI specialist team leaving Dhaka.  If her condition improves, however, Mashrafe could fly out, especially given the length of time remaining before the series-opener. If he stays at home, Shakib Al Hasan will take over the ODI captaincy



The Tigers will play a three-match ODI series on July 22, 25 and 28 and also play a three-match T20 series on July 31, Aug 4 and 5 against the West Indies.

তামিম, মাহমুদুল্লাহ ভরসায় প্রথম টেস্ট | Bangladesh cricket news





The battle between the eighth and ninth-ranked Test sides will not necessarily attract a lot of viewers, particularly with the football World Cup getting into its business end at the same time. The Antigua Test, therefore, might go under the radar, but it will still be mightily important for West Indies and Bangladesh to win.



If Bangladesh win, they will be back to winning ways after a difficult 12 months. West Indies winning would mean more progress for them, which will do wonders for their young Test players. The home side is fresh off a tough Test series against Sri Lanka in which they started very well but ultimately gave away a 1-0 lead.



West Indies (probable): 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 Devon Smith, 3 Kieran Powell, 4 Shai Hope, 5 Roston Chase, 6 Shane Dowrich (wk), 7 Jason Holder (capt), 8 Devendra Bishoo, 9 Kemar Roach, 10 Miguel Cummins, 11 Shannon Gabriel



Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Mominul Haque, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 6 Litton Das (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 9 Shafiul Islam, 10 Rubel Hossain, 11 Abu Jayed

এন্টিগার মাঠে নেমেছে বাংলাদেশ দল - BD Cricket News





Bangladesh cricket team reached Antigua in the Caribbean early Sunday morning following a two-day travel from Dhaka. The Tigers had transit in Dubai and New York on their way to the West Indies.
The Bangladesh cricketers were scheduled to have their first training session Monday afternoon at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium. Test and T20I captain Shakib al Hasan, who was on holiday in the USA, was scheduled to join the team Monday evening.
All-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who had a delayed departure from Dhaka due to visa complication, is scheduled to join the squad Tuesday. However, Bangladesh team manager for the West Indies tour, Sabbir Khan, is still in Dhaka, waiting for visa approval.
In their first tour of the Carribbean since 2014, the Tigers will play two Test matches, three ODIs and as many T20Is against the home side. The visiting side will also play two practice games against local opposition.
The Tigers will be looking to give a good account of themselves after a dreadful time in their last West Indies tour where they lost the three-match ODI series. The lone T20I of that series was abandoned due to rain. 
Bangladesh will kick off the tour with a two-day practice game, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. The tourist will lock horns with the host in the first Test, starting July 4. The second and final Test will begin on July 12.


The three-match ODI series will begin on July 22 while the second and third ODIs will be held on July 25 and 28 respectively. The two teams will then face each other in the three-game T20I series.
