Tamim, Mashrafe break Bangladesh’s Caribbean duck

Cricket

Bangladesh 279 for 4 (Tamim 130*, Shakib 97, Bishoo 2-52) v West Indies
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Tamim Iqbal’s longest ODI innings, which ended with his 10th hundred, and a 207-run second-wicket stand with Shakib Al Hasan, gave Bangladesh a competitive 279 for 4 to defend in the first ODI in Guyana. While it could have been a lot less had the two senior batsmen not forged the big partnership, it could also have been a lot more had they switched gears earlier. When that happened, Shakib perished, three short of a hundred, but Tamim went on to notch up one, finishing unbeaten on 130. However, it was a boundary-laden 11-ball burst from Mushfiqur Rahim (30) that gave the innings the much-needed thrust, as Bangladesh plundered 43 runs in the last two overs.
