Tigers dumps Windies out of the Cup..

The young Bangladeshi team lead superbly by Mohammad Ashraful sent the West Indies crashing out of the Twenty20 World Cup.

It was the same Windies squad which started the tourney with a big bang against the South Africans! They became the first team to exit the tournament. With this Bangladesh assured their entry into the Super 8 and pulled off an upset similar to the one against India during the ODI World Cup at the Caribbean.

Set 165 runs to win, Bangladesh reached the target losing just four wickets with two overs to spare. They started off pretty slow with just 12 runs in the first 3 overs…but once Aftab Ahmed and skipper Mohammad Ashraful got together, things got explosive!

Ashraful went on to score the fastest half-century in a Twenty20 match which also eventually won him the Man of the Match award.

Well lets hope India registers a win against Scotland and qualifies for the Super 8’s where they can once again lose to the Bangladeshis! Or perhaps take revenge?!
