Bangladesh beat West Indies by 7 wickets

23:16 (IST)

What a day! What a day in Bangladeshi cricket! This will surely go down in Bangladeshi cricket history as one of their greatest triumphs! West Indies were one of those teams fancied to make it to the semis, all the more after their lop-sided victory over Pakistan at the start of their campaign. Bangladesh however, ended up strolling to the target with 51 balls to spare against the same side, registering their first-ever World Cup win over the Windies as well as their highest-ever ODI chase. Give it up for Shakib, who's in the form of a lifetime at the moment, and could very well finish with the most runs at the end of the tournament. 

Let's see if Afghanistan pull off a similar act against the hosts England at Manchester tomorrow. For now, we bid you good night! 

23:12 (IST)

Jason Holder, West Indies captain: (Not enough runs, not quite good enough with the ball) I think it’s a bit of both. We were probably 40-50 runs short and the wicket played well but we just didn’t get enough runs.

Having said that, I think we could have been more disciplined with the ball and we let ourselves down in the field as well.

We knew it would be a little challenging in the first 10 overs, after losing the toss and being sent out to bat. We played the first ten overs reasonably well. It’s just a situation where we didn’t get the momentum going. 

We had too much to do in the back end. If you get 320 here, you have to do really well in the field to make up for it. We didn’t get wickets, and we let a couple of chances slip.

We tried to just hit the top of the stumps, but there’s no excuse for the way we bowled. We need to be more disciplined, and we have more games to play, each of which is a final for us, so we can’t let it get us down.

23:10 (IST)

Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh captain: Still we have a chance to go, but we have to win all the matches. Hamstring was bit hurting, but we had enough bowlers to bowl those (death) overs, so no worry on that part. I think the turning moment was Mustafizur getting those two wickets in that one over, including Russell. Always said he's made it in this World Cup and delivered for the team. Doing something that's exceptional. Liton Das batted brilliantly. Normally he's batted as an opener or 3. It's a tough ask for openers to bat at 5. But he's delivered.

Game, set and match for Bangladesh 

Shakib has played a blinder and he was aptly supported by Liton. One of the greatest run chases in the World Cup history. The crowd here is going berserk.

Following this massive victory, Bangladesh' semi-final hopes are well and truly alive. Whereas for West Indies, things will go downhill from here.

Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the Match!


Shakib: It feels great. Staying at the wicket till the end was satisfying. Have been working on my batting for a month and a half and it has been paying off. It was a team effort. Not sure why, but if I bat at No 3, Ill get more time to bat. If I bat at No 5, I won't get enough time which is not idea. Need to contribute with the ball. At this time I think I'm doing okay. We have to bring our A game against Australia. Hope they will keep supporting us. They have been fantastic.

West Indies vs Bangladesh LIVE SCORE, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match Updates: Liton guides the ball towards square on the leg side to collect a brace at the start of the over, before pulling a short ball towards fine-leg to help complete a comfortable seven-wicket victory over West Indies to jump to the fifth spot in the World Cup 2019 points table, ahead of Sri Lanka and West Indies! Shakib slams a second consecutive ton, this one coming in a winning cause, complementing his efforts with the ball earlier in the day.

Preview: The West Indies all-rounder once again pulled up a knee injury during their eight-wicket defeat to England in a World Cup match here on Friday and he went off the field after bowling to Jonny Bairstow.

The 31-year-old had earlier also left the ground during West Indies' game against Australia on 6 June.

"It's been difficult so far for him. We have been trying our best to keep him on the park, but it is proving difficult," admitted Holder.

Holder desperately wants Russell, who is a match-winner on his day, to be a part of West Indies Playing XI during crucial World Cup matches.

"Going forward, we have to persist. He is here for a reason. We think he can be a match-winner for us. We have just got to cope with him. We have got to do everything we possibly can with him to keep him on the park," the captain said.

The West Indies have suffered their second defeat in four games but Holder is confident of his team making the semi-finals of the World Cup.

"I think it would be very foolish not to be confident (we can reach the semis). There's still a lot of cricket to be played in this tournament. We have only played four games. There is a hell of a lot of cricket left to be played," said Holder.

West Indies will play Bangladesh next, who have just one win from four matches. Bangladesh's previous fixture, against Sri Lanka, was rained out.
