WI VS BAN - 5th Match, Windies and Bangladesh in Ireland Tri-Series 2019

Another impressive performance by Bangladesh and they're making the most out of these games they're playing ahead of the World Cup. They've beaten West Indies twice in this series and they'd be looking forward to make it 3-0 when they face the men in maroon on Friday. Before that they'll face Ireland in a dead-rubber, so join us for the coverage of that match on Wednesday. For now, it's a goodbye from our side. See ya!

Mashrafe Mortaza: The way we are playing, we have bowled well. Mustafiz bowled so well and so did Shakib. We need to keep the momentum going. We need to play hard against Ireland, let's see. As I said before the toss that we need to make it to the final. Let's see what happens next against Ireland.

Jason Holder: We have let ourselves down in the field throughout the tournament. We need to touch up on that aspect before the final. We want to improve every single time we step on the field. The partnership between me and Hope was a good one, but we should have carried on. We need to keep improving, we need to focus on the process.

Bangladesh move to the number 1 spot in the points table with this win. They'll now face West Indies in the final on Friday and that means the next match between Ireland and Bangladesh will be a dead-rubber. It was a clinical performance by Bangladesh today though. Their bowlers restricted Windies to below 250 and the batsmen completed the formalities with a collective effort. Rahim and Sarkar scored half centuries with other batsmen chipping in with valuable contributions. Mustafizur Rahman was the star performer in the first innings as he got four crucial wickets. Not to forget Mortaza's spell that consisted three wickets. Hang in for the presentations...

Cottrell to Sabbir Rahman, wide, Bangladesh win by 5 wickets as the winning run comes in the form of a wide. Cottrell bangs the ball short in frustration and it sails down the leg side, anti-climatic end to the match, indeed

Roach to Rahim, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! Rahim gets out with Bangladesh just near the finishing line. Looks to go big against Roach as he picks this length delivery up, the ball skies up towards fine leg where Bravo takes an easy catch. Good knock by Rahim, nevertheless.
