West Indies has just finished and West Indies batsmen could manage to score 230 runs for 5 wickets from their allotted 50 overs. I am very sad to see that in the last 10 overs, West Indies batsmen scored some quick runs and took (almost) away the match from Bangladesh.
At one stage, West Indies score was 67 for 3 after 21.3 overs. Both Chanderpaul and Brian Lara got out when they were trying to score quickly. Sarwan played a very responsible and solid innings of 91 runs. He was slow in the beginning but he made up in the last 10 overs by scoring runs quickly.
The Bangladeshi bowlers tried to keep the run rate low and they were successful until the last 10 overs. Unfortunately, in the last 10 overs, Bangladeshi bowlers conceded too many runs. The same thing happened for Bangladeshi bowlers in the match against Ireland. Mashrafe Mortaza bowled great again and he just gave 39 runs from his 10 overs.
Now, it is up to Bangladeshi batsmen to score 231 runs. Bangladeshi batsmen can surely get this amount of runs. They just need to play carefully. It is not a huge score to chase.
