The West Indies throw out the Bangladeshi script to World Cup glory


Darren Sammy

The West Indians thrashed the Bangladeshis on Friday, the 4th of February, 2011, scuttling them for a paltry 58.

The Windies romped home for the loss of just one wicket. This was a crucial encounter for the Bengali side. It will be an uphill task for the co-hosts to make the quarter-finals now.

Kemar Roach picked up his second man-of-the-match award in this tournament for his three wickets for 19 runs off six overs.

India awaits this Sunday.
