West Indies trounce Bangladesh by 73 runs

By The Assam Tribune

MIRPUR, March 25 (PTI): Defending champions West Indies kept their hopes alive of a semi-final berth with a resounding 73-run thrashing of hosts Bangladesh in a Group 2 Super 10 match of the ICC World Twenty20 here today.

Chasing a target of 172, Bangladesh�s inept batting performance once again brought about their downfall as they were bundled out for a paltry 98 in 19.1 overs.

The margin of victory ensured West Indies improved their net run-rate radically, having lost to India in their opening league game with two balls to spare.
