West Indies A (WI-A) are set to face Bangladesh A (BAN-A) in the second unofficial ODI on Thursday at Daren Sammy Cricket Ground.
West Indies A took 1-0 lead in the three-match series with a four-wicket win and will be looking to continue their impressive form.
Asked to chase just 81 after seamer Justin Greaves destroyed the visitors’ innings with four for 25 yesterday, West Indies A reached their target in the 24th over, with left-handed opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul top-scoring with 23.
Chanderpaul put on 35 for the first wicket with captain Joshua Da Silva (17) as West Indies A made a solid start to their run chase before six wickets tumbled for 35 runs in the space of 64 deliveries to make things interesting.
Earlier Greaves ran through the middle order after the new ball pair of Anderson Phillip (2-15) and Shermon Lewis (2-24) made a series of early breakthroughs.
