Game 5, Group A - West Indies vs Bangladesh at Johannesburg

Game is underway between West Indies and Bangladesh.

Ashraful won the toss and decided to bowl first. The pitch is damp so that decision wasn't surprising.

West Indies XI: CH Gayle, DS Smith, S Chanderpaul, MN Samuels, RR Sarwan, DJ Bravo, D Ramdin, DR Smith, DBL Powell, R Rampaul, FH Edwards

Bangladesh XI: Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Nazimuddin, Aftab Ahmed, Mohammad Ashraful, Shakib Al Hasan, Alok Kapali, Farhad Reza, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mashrafe Mortaza, Syed Rasel, Abdur Razzak



Bangladesh off to a good start. Tuesday Night destroyer Chris Gayle is out for a duck.

1/0 after one over.

West Indies went on to make 8/164 from their 20 overs. Devon Smith top scored with 51 with Chanderpaul making 37 and Samuels 27.

Dwayne Smith played a late cameo smacking 29 from just seven balls which included 4 sixes.

Shakib al Hasan took 4/34 for Bangladesh and made sure the middle order didn't do anything radical.

In reply, Bangladesh are 2/28 after 4 overs. Nazimuddin threw his wicket away early and was out to Ravi Rampaul for just one. Rampaul struck once again about a minute ago getting rid of Tamim Iqbal with a slower ball.
