All they had to do was lob the ball to the keeper, no need to be an hero & try direct hit.

Gayle flops again. Looks like another win the toss & win the game match, WI aren't helping their case.

West Indies not having a good tournament at all. A lot more were expected of them...infact they were one of the favorites.

They won in Srilanka back in 2012 on similar surfaces. I think its an ageing side

Athar Ali Khan is all smiles and excited.

 

Bishop goes " Bangladesh have beaten a test side only once in a T20 WC, WI in 2007', silence for a few moments follows

[Mesky99]

Hell even bangla have a 90mph pacer, another tall 6'3 left armer with a gun t20 fizz, our genius selectors picked chahar, bhuvi, shardul who are all about the same pace and height, our tallest pacer in the squad is pandya who does not even bowl, Srilanka have binura Fernando who is 6'4, chameera who is 6'1 and Kumara who is probably the fastest bowler in international cricket.  Enough is enough neither chahar, bhuvi or even shardul international material, hell we had better pacers than these during dravids captaincy.

How difficult can a pitch be that such big hitters are struggling. 

[Adi_91]

This almost feels like CSK of last year. Just pathetic this WI team.

[rollingstoned]

Why did Pollard go off? Can't just be that it's too hot and the pitch is sluggish 

[IndianRenegade]

Great hitting by Pooran!

[Ankit_sharma03]

terrific innings by pooran till now 

[The Realist]

Roston Chase 39 off 46 balls  

 

Game losing innings
