A Tough Day at the Office for the Windies
Honestly? It was a pretty rough day for the West Indies. They just couldn't seem to get a handle on the Bangladesh batting lineup. Things started off shaky, with wickets falling at somewhat regular intervals. But then… the collapse. A proper batting meltdown. You know, the kind that makes you want to throw your remote at the TV.
Early Wickets and a Late Surge
Bangladesh didn't exactly get off to a flyer themselves. A few early wickets had everyone on the edge of their seats, wondering if this would be another one of those days. But nope! They dug in, showing some serious grit and determination. Their batsmen played smart cricket, rotating the strike effectively. That strategy really paid off in the end.
