On Monday, Bangladesh dominated the Windies in Taunton and won by seven wickets with 51 deliveries to spare. Shakib Al Hasan’s all-round show turned out to be too hot to handle for the Caribbean team. The Tigers are currently placed fifth in the points table with five points from as many matches. Their next match-up is against Australia at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham will be a challenging one.
The Aussies, on the other hand, have been a dominant force and are placed second in the table with four victories from five matches. Barring their game versus India in London, Aaron Finch and Co have hardly put a foot wrong. Out of 20 ODIs against the mighty Aussies, Bangladesh has won only one and lost 18. However, the Tigers have come a long way and Australia can’t afford to undermine them.
