Mirpur: West Indies bowlers shot out co-hosts Bangladesh for a paltry 58 to set up a crushing nine-wicket victory in a group league encounter at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium here today.
The 9-wicket win was one of West Indies’ most comprehensive win in their 36-year history in the tournament.
Last match’s hero Kemar Roach (3/19) continued his good form while skipper Darren Sammy (3/21) and left-arm spinner Suleiman Benn (4/18) skittled out the home team in only 18.5 overs to set up one of their easiest wins of recent times.
Chris Gayle then smashed his way to a 36-ball 37 with the help of six boundaries as the winners completed the formalities in only 12.2 overs losing the wicket of Devon Thomas. The total duration of the match was only 31.1 overs.
