West Indies Send Bangladesh to Bat First

West Indies won the toss and asked Bangladesh to bat first in the second match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Friday morning.

Tiger is currently leading the three-match series 1-0 after beating West Indies by six wickets in the series opener on Wednesday. 

Both sides had already played 39 ODIs, of which Bangladesh won 16 in contrast to the Caribbean 21 and two matches won no results. The sixth straight against the Caribbean was Bangladesh's latest victory.

However, Bangladesh also won seven games against visitors in the last eight games, enough to scare the West Indies skipper Jason Mohammed.
