2:03 PM IST It was a game where West Indies' misery with the bat was exposed once again. But the batting of Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder helped them to revive their innings in the last 6 overs and they managed to push a challenging total on the board. Credit to their bowlers for staying disciplined, however, the fielding was not up to the mark. Jason Holder and Ravi Rampaul did a great job to keep Bangladesh quiet initially and then they maintained the same intensity. The wickets also kept falling here and there and that didn't allow Bangladesh any kind of momentum. At the halfway mark, if you compare the batting innings of both teams, it was almost similar but West Indies had the firepower in their lower order to bail them out, something Bangladesh lacked. Liton Das and Mahmudullah tried their best but failed to take Bangladesh home.
