March 4, 2011 04:36 pm
Ruthless West Indies humiliated Bangladesh with the bat and ball in front of their own fans on Friday, skittling the World Cup co-hosts for their lowest ever ODI score of 58 before chasing down the target in 12.2 overs.
Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn claimed four wickets while Kemar Roach and Darren Sammy bagged three scalps each as Bangladesh were flattened in 18.5 overs.
The boos around the Shere Bangla National Stadium could still be heard when the West Indian openers Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo came out to bat but Shakib Al Hasan’s men were powerless to stop the visitors winning by nine wickets.
Bangladesh’s score of 58 was the lowest total in this year’s World Cup.
