Bangladesh bat first in must-win clash, Taskin dropped
West Indies have also made a change, dropping right-arm pacer Alzarri Joseph in favour of debutant Marquino Mindley.
Bangladesh lost the toss and were sent in to bat in a must-win second ODI, with one change in the playing XI—left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam replacing experienced seamer Taskin Ahmed to bring variety to the pace attack.
To keep their hopes of winning the series alive, Mehidy Hasan Miraz's side must secure victory in today's match. Despite putting up a fighting total in the first ODI, Bangladesh couldn't defend it as West Indies, powered by Sherfane Rutherford's explosive innings, cruised to a comfortable win.
Now trailing in the three-match series, Bangladesh faces a do-or-die situation at Warner Park in St Kitts, that started at 7:30 pm Bangladesh time.
