A solid performance from Bangladesh's batsmen on a placid track marked the start of the Test series in Chittagong, leaving the bowlers potentially facing more days of hard work. The morning was slightly overcast but the sun didn't take long to break through the clouds, confining whatever assistance was available for the bowlers to the first hour of the day. Deciding to bat without hesitation, Bangladesh, led by half-centuries from Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim Iqbal, built a platform for a formidable first-innings score but suffered a few jolts along the way, some self-inflicted.Zimbabwe v New Zealand, 2nd Twenty20, Harare

Bangladesh v West Indies, 3rd ODI, Chittagong Live Streaming
The threat of rain loomed over gloomy Chittagong but the weather stayed clear enough for Bangladesh to demolish West Indies for their second-lowest total in one-day internationals. From 33 for 1, Bangladesh's bowlers began to hack through the line-up as nine wickets fell for 28 runs. The strong crowd that turned up despite the wetness cheered as the home side dished out retribution for the two defeats in the series, and for the humiliation in the 2011 World Cup.Monday, 17 October 2011
West Indies v Bangladesh
West Indians eased to a comfortable 65-run win over Bangladesh Cricket Board XI and the abject surrender of the home batsmen, many of whom are in the Bangladesh squad, to the West Indies' bowling attack would have given a genuine boost to the visitors. West Indians still have areas of concern - their batting against spin in particular - but Ravi Rampaul soothed their nerves after they struggled to 217 for 9 in 45 overs.

Bangladesh v West Indies, 2nd ODI, Mirpur
Bangladesh became only the fourth ODI side to score 200 after having lost three wickets for under five, but that wasn't enough to avoid the series defeat to West Indies. Mushfiqur Rahim avoided an encore of 58 all out from the World Cup and Nassir Hossain gave them late runs to have something to bowl at, but the West Indies top order made short work of the short chase. Lendl Simmons registered his ninth fifty-plus score in 11 innings, anchoring the chase, as Danza Hyatt and Marlon Samuels provided the momentum from the other end.
