WI vs B'desh: West Indies beat B'desh by 9 wickets

DHAKA: West Indies produced a thumping performance to beat Bangaldesh by 9 wickets in their World Cup Group B match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Friday.

Earlier, Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn claimed four wickets while Kemar Roach and Darren Sammy bagged three wickets each as West Indies destroyed World Cup co-hosts Bangladesh for 58 in their third match in Dhaka on Friday.

Bangladesh looked out of sorts from the very first over when paceman Roach had Tamim Iqbal caught by Sammy at second slip for a duck in the third ball of the innings.

Sammy, coming as first change bowler, struck with his third ball to take other opener Imrul Kayes for five.

Bangladesh never recovered from the damage and lost wickets at regular interval to be dismissed in 18.5 overs.
