Bangladesh had a shaky start as opener Tamim Iqbal (9) was unfortunately run out by a joint-effort of Rovman Powell and Shai Hope when Bangladesh’s total was 22.
Then, Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar repaired the damage adding together 43 runs for the second wicket partnership before Soumya (9) was caught at the long-on by Sheldon Cottrell off Fabian Allen when Bangladesh’s score was 65 for the loss of two wickets.
After dismissal of Soumya, Bangladesh failed to build any other notable partnership.
