World Cup 2019: After the start of the campaign with victory, Bangladesh and West Indies will be upset after their performance so far, Monday, both teams set to take on each other and will aim for that crucial 2 points.
West Indies, in their first match defeated Pakistan by quite a margin. After that, they were defeated by Australia and England, while a match against South Africa got abandoned due to rain. Bangladesh also defeated a strong team like South Africa, while reeling against New Zealand and England. Competition against Sri Lanka was cancelled by rain.
Both teams have the same three points. The winning team will be successful in improving their position in the points table. The conditions here though would help West Indies bowlers, who shocked the top order of Pakistan and Australia. The Bangladeshis will still be upbeat, because in the triangular series played in Ireland before the World Cup, the team defeated the West Indies in the final after two league matches.
West Indies’s is issue is their batting. This weakness of the team against Australia and England was fully exposed. Against England, the team scored 144 runs with the loss of 3 wickets in the 30th over but the entire team was out for 212 runs in the 45th over.
The team would expect Chris Gayle and Shai Hope to perform well. Problems in the West Indies are also a big injury to the big players. Andre Russell and Sheldon Cottrell were able to only bowl five overs against England.
The success of Bangladesh will depend on Shakib Al Hasan’s performance, who has performed brilliantly with the ball and bat in the tournament so far. Shakib had scored a century against South Africa while batting at number three. He is fourth in the table with highest score of 260 runs.
Mushfiqur Rahim is also in the rhythm but the rest of the batting line-up have been so far disappointed. Although Bangladesh will have to do a lot of improvements in bowling.
