BAN beat WI by 5 wickets | West Indies vs Bangladesh, Highlights And Cricket Score 5th ODI Match - Commentary

Apart from being a bit slow, there isn't much in this pitch. The start initially against the two new balls will be crucial as in the middle phase, timing the shots will be a bit difficult. It's a modest target on the board but Bangladesh would like to approach carefully. Let's see whether West Indies challenge them this time around with the ball or not. Do join us in a short while.

Earlier, it was Jason Holder's call to bat first and his openers provided a decent start. But soon West Indies found themselves in a precarious situation after losing their top four for only 99 runs. Mehidy and Shakib bowled brilliantly in the middle overs to never allow West Indies off the hook and then the old gun, Mashrafe Mortaza picked the prized wickets of Shai Hope and Jason Holder to peg the opposition back furthermore. Mustafizur Rahman also found some form and finished with a 4-wicket haul.

Terrific bowling performance by Bangladesh! They have restricted West Indies under 250. Once again the major contribution came from one of the top order batsmen but apart from him, there wasn't much fight shown by the middle order. Jason Holder's century partnership with Shai Hope put the Caribbean team on track for a score close to 300 but the Bangla Tigers roared back in the last 10 overs to dismiss both the set batsmen. The desired finish never came for the team in maroon and they managed a below-par total only.

Abu Jayed to Kemar Roach. Outside off, Roach hammers this down the ground. Jayed rushes to his left to stop the ball but it hits his shin and deflects towards mid-wicket. The batsmen take a run. 11 from the final over as West Indies finish 3 shy of 250.

Mustafizur Rahman to Sheldon Cottrell. How did that miss the leg stump? A length ball, outside leg, Cottrell gives himself room and swings hard, only to miss. The ball just misses the leg stump by a whisker. The difference between a Michelle and a 4-fer for the Fizz. 9-1-43-4 today.

Sheldon Cottrell is the last man in. Will the West Indies be able to play out their full quota? One ball left for the Fizz to take a fifer.

Mustafizur Rahman to Raymon Reifer. OUT! LBW! Wicket number 4 for Mustafizur. Full and straight, swinging in, Reifer plays all around that, looking to flick but misses and is hit on the pads. Mustafizur appeals and up goes the finger. That looked dead plumb.

Now, Nurse does not want the single but Reifer calls him through. Rahim charges in and has an under-arm shy at the striker's end as the batsmen eventually go through.

TOSS - West Indies win the coin flip. THEY DECIDE TO BAT FIRST!!!

It is time for the 5th ODI of the tri-nation series! Bangladesh facing West Indies but Ireland will be watching closely and will hope that the men from the Caribbean win or else the hosts will be knocked out. Bangladesh just need a win to seal their spot in the final against the Island nation who have already sealed theirs. A lot to play for, West Indies too would love to give a player or two rest before the final and make use of this game to get some valuable practice! Remember they also did lose their earlier game against Bangladesh and revenge would also be on their mind. Should be a good game, stay tuned! The toss is not far away...
