BSS, Dhaka :
Emboldened by their recent record, Bangladesh will take on West Indies in a World Cup (WC) match at Taunton today that turned out to be a must-win game for them in a bid to stay alive in the semifinal race.
The match starts at 3.30 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time).
It will be Bangladesh’s fifth game in the cricket’s biggest extravaganza after they accumulated three points from four games. Having kick-started the
tournament in impressive fashion with a 21-run victory over South Africa, Bangladesh suffered two bitter defeats-against New Zealand by two wickets and against England by 106 runs before their game against Sri Lanka was washed out without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain.
Like Bangladesh West Indies also have three points in four games after winning one, losing two and a washed-out game.
West Indies are the side against whom they would be confident because of their recent result-they have beaten West Indies three straight times in quite dominating fashion including the final in the recent tri-series in Ireland to become an unbeaten champions.
But, the West Indies side that they faced off in tri-series is a vastly different side with the inclusion of their premier players like Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and others.
Nonetheless Bangladesh will be confident since they even beat a full-strength West Indies side in quite several times.
Both teams met each other in ODI cricket for 37 times, amongst which West Indies won 21 and Bangladesh 14, while two other matches were rained out. In World Cup, They took on each other four times and West Indies won three matches while the other match was washed out.
Therefore it’s the match also for Bangladesh to set their World Cup record right.
