A pair of fifties by Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim is propelling Bangladesh to score a big total against West Indies in the second ODI at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday (Dec 11).
Bangladesh are now 176/3 after 38.2 overs.
Middle-order batsman Mushfiqur Rahim got out after scoring 62 off 80 balls with five boundaries before losing his wicket to Windies pacer Oshane Thomas.
Mushfiq had earlier formed a 111-run partnership with opener Tamim Iqbal for the third wicket.
Tamim scored a half-century off 61 balls and got out one delivery later. He tried a slog sweep against leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo in 23.3 overs only to get caught by deep square leg fielder Kemar Roach.
Bangladesh lost their first wicket early in the third ball of the fourth over when opener Imrul Kayes got out scoring 0 off 6 deliveries. He was caught behind the wicket against Thomas.
