Bangladesh looking for wickets
Mashrafe is making changes looking for a wicket, but this West Indian-pair has been solid. They have weathered the initial storm and are now looking to bat deep into the innings. This is a high-scoring ground and with wickets in hand, they can erupt.
West Indies build
After the early setback, West Indies have found some momentum and Evin Lewis and Shai Hope have built a good platform. This can be problematic for Bangladesh, if they need to find a footing in this game
Spin introduced
Mehidy has been introduced into the attack, West Indies have been watchful so far and they are trying to set a platform. Bangladesh have been tight so far, but you can never rule out a West Indies-counter attack. It can come anytime
Lewis, Hope hold fort
After the early dismissal, Evin Lewis and Shai Hope have been watchful, but have also been putting away the loose deliveries at the same time. This is a good phase for them and they have to see off the new ball
Emphatic from Hope
The ball was short, it sat up nicely and Shai Hope stood tall and absolutely thumped it past short mid-wicket for a boundary. He is a man in form and needs to bat big today
Gayle departs
And the seaming ball takes care of Chris Gayle. Length ball angled away from Chris Gayle, who stays put and wafts his bat, but the ball takes the edge and Mushfiqur dives across and takes a smart catch. Big blow for West Indies, Bangladesh strike.
Mashrafe runs in
Chris Gayle takes guard, Mashrafe with the new ball, there could be movement on offer here and this is where West Indies need to be careful and see out this phase

Probably an opportunity to put some runs on the board. We don’t want to drop our intent and we want to be a little smarter and play well. One change for us. Carlos Brthwaite is out and Darren Bravo is in.
Bangladesh bowl first
Mashrafe: We would like to bowl first. Our batting has been good, we have been chasing well. We have been on and off for our practice. Mithun is not playing. Liton Das will play.
Bangladesh predicted XI
Bangladesh had a fantastic start to the tournament, defeating South Africa in their opening contest. With the win, many started expecting that the side could produce a few more upsets in the tournament. But since then, things have gone downhill for the Tigers.
Windies predicted XI
West Indies had gone off to a great start at the World Cup 2019. A win over Pakistan prompted many to wonder if the side can be termed as the dark horses of the tournament. But things have changed for the side since then.
Windies suffered a defeat at the hands of Australia by 15 runs in their second game. Facing off against an underconfident South Africa, the side had to share points with the rain playing a spoilsport to the contest. In their previous game, the Jason Holder-led side suffered an 8 wicket defeat to the hosts England.

West Indies had gone off to a great start at the World Cup 2019. A win over Pakistan prompted many to wonder if the side can be termed as the dark horses of the tournament. But things have changed for the side since then. Much like Bangladesh, who also had a fantastic start to the tournament, defeating South Africa in their opening contest. With the win, many started expecting that the side could produce a few more upsets in the tournament. But since then, things have gone downhill for the Lions.
WI, Bangladesh need to get back on track
It could be too early to drop the hammer on the World Cup and yet, for Bangladesh and West Indies, their campaigns could well be one loss away from being over. Both the sides have pedigree and ability and yet, they are floundering. England, India, Australia and New Zealand have broken away from the pack and both the Windies and Bangladesh have already lost two games and suffered a washout, they cannot afford to lose here. It is a match to watch out for.
