World Cup: Windies win by 9 wickets as Bangladesh skittled out for 58

Kemar roch and Darren Sammy

(TOI)
DHAKA. It was a day-night game but the lights didn't need to flash on as West Indies knocked the daylights out of Bangladesh at a packed Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur on Friday to take a big stride towards the quarterfinals.
In what will be termed as a national disgrace in this cricket-crazy nation, Bangladesh fell to the pits with their lowest ever total of 58 runs in one-day internationals in 18.5 overs, also the lowest in this World Cup. The visitors took 12.2 overs to complete the formality losing a wicket in the process.
A packed house, non-stop cheering and skipper Shakib Al Hasan's correct call during the toss was all that could act as a fillip to the Bangladesh hopes. Then struck Kemar Roach, the fast bowling Windies sensation, who started where he had left off with a hat-trick against the Netherlands last week. He made opener Tamim Iqbal snick his very third ball of the innings to walk back with a duck. Iqbal, on whom lay big home hopes, chased the ball going for a drive. The stadium was stunned into silence and it became only more deafening soon as wickets began to tumble at either ends in quick succession.
There were no demons in the track. In fact it was the best one can ask for an ODI. The Bangladesh batsmen simply failed to rise to the occasion, trying to be more adventurous than duty demanded.
Bangladesh's listlessness was a delight for the West Indian bowlers, and they needed just three of them. Roach, skipper Darren Sammy and the tall left-arm spinner Suleiman Benn accounted for all the Bangladesh wickets.
Sammy, struggling for his own form, picked up three to leap each time in delight as the batsmen tried to force their shots driving straight to the fielders.
Benn, who opened the bowling with Roach, joined the party after a change of end. He scalped skipper Shakib Al Hasan beating him both in the air and off the pitch. The curtain call wasn't far by now with Benn continuing to tease and torment the batsmen with well-flighted deliveries while Sammy accounted for those who went for shots against his slow medium but well pitched up balls.
Only two of Bangladesh batsmen - left-handed Junaid Siddique and Mohd Ashraful - could reach double figures.

Angry Bangladesh fans stone 
West Indies team bus
Angry Bangladesh fans stoned the West Indies bus on Friday after the home team crashed to a humiliating nine-wicket defeat in the cricket World Cup.
Two windows of the bus were smashed as it was leaving the Sher-e-Bangla stadium after the match in what police claimed was a case of mistaken identity.
"The fans thought it was the Bangladeshi team bus and they hurled stones at it," Imtiaz Ahmed, deputy commissioner of police in Dhaka said.
"The window panes were shattered, but no one was injured."
West Indian star Chris Gayle, a former national captain, had tweeted from the vehicle during the attack, claiming the players had been terrified.
"This is ridiculous. Damn. World Cup with so much security and this happens. Big joke. Trust me I am not keen here. Every player lay flat," he wrote on his Twitter account.
He added: "This is some bullshit.....Bangladesh stoning our bus!!! Freaking glass Break!!! This is crap, can't believe..what next, bullets!!!!"
Bangladesh Cricket Board president Mustafa Kamal apologised to the West Indies for the incident.
"We are sorry it happened," Kamal said. "We have already ordered an investigation and the police are working on it.
"There was enough security for the buses, the fans may have thought it was the Bangladesh bus. The stones were thrown from a long distance.
"It is nothing serious. No serious damage was done, but still we are very sorry this happened."
Violence also broke out in the Dhaka University campus as angry students torched Bangladeshi team jerseys and placards after the home team's comprehensive defeat, a top police official said.
"A crowd of around 3,000 gathered inside the campus. They were very angry and shouted slogans against the players," Rezaul Karim, police chief of the university area said.
West Indies spokesman Philip Spooner, whose team were playing in Bangladesh for the first time since 2002, confirmed there were no injuries.
"We left the ground and on our way back to the hotel, a couple of stones did hit our window. Two windows were racked, but not shattered. Both teams are back at the hotel and are safe. Nobody is injured," he said.
"Our manager ( Richie Richardson) will notify the respective boards and the ICC (International Cricket Council). There is no panic, everybody is fine."
Bangladesh, one of the tournament's co-hosts along with India and Sri Lanka, had earlier slumped to a nine-wicket defeat to the West Indies in front of a 25,000 sell-out crowd.
They had been bowled out for their lowest ever one-day total of just 58 in 18.5 overs, with the West Indies cantering home in the 13th over of their innings with the match taking under two-and-a-half hours to complete.
Bangladesh had been expected to perform well in the event, especially in favourable home conditions. But two defeats in three games have dealt their hopes of making the quarter-finals a major blow.
Friday's incident came just a day after the second anniversary of the deadly attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team bus in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
That attack left seven Sri Lankan players injured and killed eight Pakistani people. It also led to a suspension of all international cricket in Pakistan while the country's rights as a co-host of the ongoing World Cup were also withdrawn.

score card

	Bangladesh innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	Tamim Iqbal	c Sammy b Roach	0	2	3	0	0	0.00
	0.3 144.6 kph, a hush falls over the Shere Bangla as Tamim departs for a duck. The ball was fuller and wider outside off stump and Tamim, who let the previous two go, chased this. He went really hard at the ball, aiming to lash it through cover, but ended up nicking it to second slip, where Sammy caught it. And look at those celebrations ... massive wicket 0/1
	Imrul Kayes	c †Thomas b Sammy	5	15	8	0	0	62.50
	3.3 129.7 kph, caught behind! Short of a length but closer to the body outside off stump. Kayes stays in his crease, moves on to the back foot and pokes at the ball with an open face. Tentative shot with no real purpose and the outside edge is taken by Thomas 16/2
	Junaid Siddique	lbw b Roach	25	33	27	4	0	92.59
	8.2 145.5 kph, lbw! Siddique falls to another yorker. But he wants a review. Roach delivered a lethal yorker on middle stump, made more lethal by Siddique's decision to play across the line towards midwicket. The ball struck him full on the front shoe and that is hitting middle stump. That review was in hope more than anything else. Bangladesh tottering ... 36/4
	Mushfiqur Rahim†	c Sarwan b Sammy	0	6	4	0	0	0.00
	5.1 128.0 kph, caught at short midwicket! Sammy is on fire today, though the ball wasn't outstanding. Full ball on middle and leg, Mushfiqur wanted to flick and made very good contact, striking the ball hard. He flicked it in the air though and Sarwan barely had to move at short midwicket. That is a sharp catch. Mirpur falls silent for the third time. 25/3
	Shakib Al Hasan*	b Benn	8	23	16	1	0	50.00
	10.2 86.6 kph, bowled him! Another flighted delivery that dips on Shakib outside off stump, Shakib didn't really do anything. He should have come forward but he stayed in his crease and made a limp effort at defending. The ball pitched just outside off and spun into the left-hander, beat the bat and hit the stumps. Benn roars. 41/5
	Raqibul Hasan	c Pollard b Sammy	4	23	17	0	0	23.52
	13.6 135.9 kph, caught at point! Fuller ball, wide outside off stump. Raqibul leans forward to drive and plays far away from his body. A real loose shot. The edge travels in the air towards Pollard, who throws his huge body forward at point to take a sharp chance. Shambolic batting. 51/6
	Mohammad Ashraful	c †Thomas b Roach	11	33	21	2	0	52.38
	17.1 145.1 kph, West Indies are screaming in joy. The Mirpur crowd don't know how to react. It was a full delivery outside off stump and Ash went for a big drive through the off side and getsa thin nick through to the delighted keeper. 56/8
	Naeem Islam	c †Thomas b Benn	1	14	4	0	0	25.00
	16.2 83.2 kph, .Benn has been bowling beautifully and gets his reward. It was another teasingly flighted delivery on a good length, turning away from the off stump after landing on the middle and off line. Naeem tried to defend it but the ball turned, bounce, and clipped the outer edge. Benn is usually known for firing those deliveries but he has been a revelation today 56/7
	Shafiul Islam	c Pollard b Benn	0	12	6	0	0	0.00
	18.3 82.4 kph, There is a gully in place and he steers it straight to him! What was he thinking there? It turned away from the off stump and he opened the bat face and steered it to gully where Pollard took a lovely catch. He leaned forward, got his big hands under the dying ball and pouched it so safely and cleanly. 58/9
	Abdur Razzak	not out	2	9	6	0	0	33.33
	Rubel Hossain	b Benn	0	2	2	0	0	0.00
	18.5 Benn does a Afridi. He fires a yorker and the batsman had no chance. Bangladesh have folded up for their lowest score ever! Crazy crazy day at Mirpur. Benn roars. His team-mates have a laugh. Bangladesh are all out and and the home crowd is getting angry and restless. 58/10
