Bangladesh [279/4] beat West Indies [231/9] by 48 runs in the first ODI to take 1-0 series lead

[hadi123]

They haven't played much ODI cricket recently. Can Bangladesh do better than they did in the Tests (will be hard to do any worse?

 

[mak36]

Their form in the shorter format has been equally as bad.

 

[saeed5646]

Looks like the whole bd team is bunny of holder who is taking wicket for fun against them .

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Bd will be praying for more rain..

148 / 1

34 overs

Bangladesh aiming for 300 from here

 

[saeed5646]

Woah nice start .hopefully it will bring back some bd poster who are missing from quite some time

 

[Justcrazy]

Both shakib and Tanim looking good for a hundred here.

If bangladesh spinners bowl well , this will be enough to win a game.

Aray bhai WI batters don't know the right balance b/w attack and defence so they will struggle against Ban who will strangle them with their spinners. Besides, Ban bowlers are good at containing, so this series should be a one sided affair imo

That is what I said.

 

[Justcrazy]

181 . 1

Bangladesh need to start playing some big shots here , just 66 more balls left.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsman looking at there hundred , and neglecting acceleration.

 

[Mainul]

It's a bizzare looking score, just one wicket loss at 40 overs with just 4.6 run rate!!

 

[Justcrazy]

200 runs partnership .

last 8 overs no boundary.

 

[Sam99]

Few overs left and what is bangladesh waiting here for?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Wow WI line up looks strong batting to 8. Just need Gabriel and might be dangerous in the world cup.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shakib fails to get a hundred.

 

[mak36]

Underestimate Windies at your own peril.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI have pulled back the momentum somewhat here .

Our bd brothers seem to have disappeared for a little while now. Can't think why.

 

[El Generico]

ODIs are clearly Bangladesh's strongest format, good to see them finally doing well on this tour.

 

[InziRules]

I don't think 260-270 will be enough.

 

[saeed5646]

Their away tour is always tough and winning a single game is very rare

 

[Justcrazy]

Tanim has changed gears after his hundred.

 

[Justcrazy]

280 is the target

Hello PP brothers, haven't been active over the last few months. Been busy with my thesis UGGH

Poor stuff by Bangladesh. Against teams like WI you after losing only 1 wicket in 40 overs you should easily be scoring 300/320. No wonder Bangladesh will be an average team.

We are lucky we aren't playing Afghanistan here. We would have lost to them WITH EASE.

 

[Executioner]

My worry is that we will win this and our players will be showered with prizes and gifts while we lost the REAL DEAL which are the test matches where we had our hip-bones handed to us(because saying "butt" was too modest"

 

[Xoib]

MMHS Bhai is sorely missed hopefully a win or two gets him back

 

[BunnyRabbit]

I think Mashrafe is the only real leader in Bangladesh setup that can get his players firing even when they are too lost. He can certainly fill in the void left by Chandika and players have always responded well under him. Plus his seamers are a bit under rated. One of the few cricketers of Bangladesh who like too keep their feet on the ground in all circumstances.

 

[hadi123]

Bangladesh have a great chance here.

 

[Justcrazy]

For WI gayle is the key , he has lots of experience.

Tanim and shakib slowed down because they were closing on hundred , they should have played more aggressively .

 

[Justcrazy]

WI need one solid partnership here to have a good chance here

Dude, test matches were real deal like back in 1900s, not this day in age. It's an useless format, and I fully support Shakib for not wanting to play this.

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle is taking his time here , he needs to bat through now.

I think they where a bit selfish for there century's

 

[Justcrazy]

37 runs partnership so far. But required rate 6.81 is going up.

 

[Justcrazy]

gayle gone

big wicket

Being too modest here

Being too modest here

I think Bangladesh will win but it was bizare batting by those two.

 

[gazza619]

Gosh, does it mean thay the whole world will be stormed by them cobra dance celebrations..

 

[Hasan123]

West Indies should be chasing this score in home conditions.

Guyana is a SC pitch.

 

[Hasan123]

Guyana is a SC pitch.

The younger players play a lot of cricket on thse pitches whilst Gayle and Russell have played a lot of cricket in India. I'm disappointed that they haven't come closer.

 

[DRsohail]

Congratulations Bangladesh. They needed it badly.

 

[DRsohail]

But important thing is that Bangladesh youngsters are not performing up to expectations and still heavily rely on Mushrafi Murtaza Tamil and shakib. Somebody from the new batch has to step up.

 

[Pakpak]

They won! Good win.

 

[Anik Sharma]

Bangladesh showed why they are still one of the most powerful ODI side at the moment! Congratulations BD.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Good performance by Bangladesh. However, I feel that it was WI game to lose. They just could not keep the pressure in the last 4 overs. Bangladesh scored 20-30 additional runs.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

West Indies ODI team is in shambles. Even the Test series should have been 1-1. This series will only be impressive if Bangladesh win 3-0. But I have a feeling WI will come back hard in game 2 and then go on to clinch the series 2-1. Bangladesh have to bring their best on Wednesday in order to seal the series.

Was missing this from quite some time.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

No need to jump up, first win the series, then talk.
