[irtiza104]

This is the review of the 2nd ODI match between Bangladesh and West Indies of Digicel ODI series. Bangladesh defeated West Indies in the 1st match of this series. Prior to this Bangladesh Cricket team won the test series against West Indies on July 2009.

West Indies: 274/6 in 50 overs
Bangladesh: 276/7 in 49 overs

Toss: West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first.
Result: Bangladesh won the match my 3 wickets
Man of the Match: Shakib Al Hasan

West Indies' innings: West Indies batted extremely well today. The batmen looked very strong and their projected score is also very good. But I must say that the run out of DM Richards was so silly. It would have been out if he just looked back and ran back to his crease. He just gave up and walked towards the dressing room without looking back and seeing what was happening. Shakib, Rasel, Razzak, Naeem took one wicket each. Congratulations to Dowlin for his century.

Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Fletcher, 5.1 ov), 2-52 (Richards, 10.3 ov), 3-118 (Smith, 28.1 ov), 4-134 (Reifer, 32.2 ov), 5-181 (Bernard, 40.5 ov), 6-245 (Lewis, 47.3 ov)

Bangladesh's innings: What a chase it was! It was the successful highest run chase by Bangladesh (previous one was against Australia in 2005, 250 runs). Bangladesh started their innings very slowly. But later they came on top with the help of Ashraful, Shakib and Mushfiq. Actually all the tigers batted good today. Ashraful and Shakib scored a fifty each. It was the second fifty of this series for Ashraful. I hope he continues to play like this. But yet today, Ashraful got out playing an unnecessary shot. It was really a thrilling chase. for a long time in the chase the fighting was neck to neck. Anyway, I am very happy that Bangladesh has won the ODI series too.

Fall of wickets: 1-46 (Junaid Siddique, 10.2 ov), 2-64 (Tamim Iqbal, 13.4 ov), 3-116 (Raqibul Hasan, 25.5 ov), 4-190 (Mohammad Ashraful, 36.2 ov), 5-238 (Shakib Al Hasan, 43.1 ov), 6-251 (Mahmudullah, 45.1 ov), 7-261 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 45.6 ov)
