England are out of the WTC final race while NZ are most probably out too thanks to this new update.

Both teams got penalised due to slow over rate which is a bummer for the Kiwis who recently whitewashed India 3-0 on their turf. Looks like Australia, India, South Africa or Sri Lanka will end up qualifying for the final now.

Bangladesh is looking favourite in the match now. Their batting performance was surprising in the second innings. The run rate was very poor for both teams in first innings. Some players of Bangladesh have played aggressively in the second innings which helped them to take a good lead. Now the target is 287 runs for West Indies. Everything will depend on how WI batsmen face Nahid Rana's ball in this innings.

Jaker Ali play wise cricket in last few overs as he was watching wickets are falling regularly so he hit few good hits which help his team to have 287 targets for West Indies which could be record at the Sabina Park Kingston because we have the highest chase in fourth inning is 212.
Things were never been ideal for the visitors in this series, but they have done good job first Nahid Rana in first inning of West Indian batting and now Jaker Ali in second inning of the Bangladesh hits career best 91 with the help of 5 sixes he was playing like legendary Brian Lara in this inning which bring them on verge of victory against West Indies now we have just win for the Bangladesh or West Indies with draw is almost dead for this match even we lost one day in this match.

Here we have two quick wickets for the West Indies as we have Tajul through Joseph and then Momin ul Haq through Roach which is good gain for them in early overs of the day even Jaker Ali is still on crease, but now they could be under pressure because bowlers are doing good job and taking back charge of the match.
While Jaker Ali is standing strong against the West Indies, they are still losing wickets at the other end. They already lost two more of them today. I think Bangladesh will not be able to take the lead beyond 300 runs. Jaker Ali knows this that he is getting short of partners so he is trying to score quickly himself. At the moment you may see a lot of four and sixes being hit by him and the West Indies team will get chances to get him out as he is getting reckless. West Indies would be happy as they are getting wickets at the other end.

Bangladesh is leading by 211 runs at the moment, and it looks quite possible that they maybe able to add another 90-100 runs to this total. Taijul Islam and Jaker Ali are at the crease, with Mominul Haque and Hasan Mahmud to come next. West Indies need to wrap this up as quickly as possible, or else the series will be drawn at 1-1. Jayden Seales returned such an amazing spell in first innings, but he looks quite ordinary in the second. These West Indies guys are so inconsistent.
Yes if Jaker Ali and Taijul Islam can perform well on the fourth day, then Bangladesh can expect to win the second Test, but I am not optimistic about the middle-order batsmen at all and they may be quite doubtful about their ability to make the right decisions and have the mentality to fight for the wicket. However, the players should give their all to win for the team. Taijul Islam scored only 16 runs in the first innings and he mainly bowls spin I think we cannot expect any extra runs from him. Besides, Jaker Ali scored only 1 run in the first innings and he is 29 not out off 49 balls in the second innings and I think if he can play to his potential, then Bangladesh can have a chance of winning. I think if West Indies want to win, they should use their bowlers properly so that Bangladesh cannot take a lead of more than 250 runs. Bangladesh batsmen should try to bat the entire fourth day so that they can win.The batting performance of Bangladesh has been good so far, but now the next effort will be to base the victory of the Bangladesh team on the bowling performance. I think that the Bangladesh team will be able to secure the victory in this second match, because the batting performance of the Bangladesh team has been stable so far. Although the current batsmen are not patient, we can expect a total lead of 250 runs from them, if they can achieve the target of 250 runs, then the match between the Bangladesh team and the Ostend team will be very competitive.
The bowling performance of the Bangladesh team has been very good in the first innings of the second match, Nahid Rana has performed the best. Now such a performance can be expected from the Bangladesh team only in the second match, then there will be a high chance of winning.

Jaker Ali is batting quite confidently at the moment, and Taijul Islam is providing him good support. The lead has grown to 225. I am sure that Bangladeshis can take it to somewhere between 320-350. If they can do that, then it is over for West Indies. Remember how their batsmen struggled against Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmud in the first innings. WICB need to do some introspection as well. This was a home series, and that too against a weak opposition. If they can't win even this one, then how they are going to perform against the pig-3?
World Order for the cricket is almost changed now we need to have good changes in system and all formats as well otherwise we will be badly down in quality which is important for bringing more fans in ground.Even I am nothing to talk about, but we need ICC do things like we will have just 8 teams in test format, and they will also participate in T20i with no ODI's for them and others rest of teams will be in ODI's and T20i with no test for them because this will give them some better change of improving quality and bring consistency which is main target right now for having entertainment.

Bangladesh proved us all wrong with the way they played last day. In the next few hours, the day 04 will also start and now the good vibes are starting to come for the Bangladesh team. They picked up all the wickets of West Indies on the less score at 146. Remember at one time West Indies were playing at 70 runs with the loss of just one wicket. Anyways Bangladesh team is right back in the game now. The game has completely changed in the favour of Bangladesh and many have been proven wrong in analysis. We underestimated them but they made an amazing comeback.
As we have Bangladesh bowled out on 164 we have them on back foot but their bowlers done impressive job and give them good boost as they bowled out West Indies on 146 which give them 18 runs lead here Nahid Rana 22 years old who is playing his 6th test match have career best figures of 5 for 61 this performance bring back Bangladesh into game.
Now in second inning, we have Bangladesh at 193 for 5 with total lead of 211 it's looking decent but Jaker Ali and Tajul can add few more valuable runs which can give them good chance of win and have level in series now first session is going to be important for the both sides because West Indies needs quick wickets and Bangladesh needs their batsmen stay on crease and add have total lead of 300+ which could be match winning for them.

Bangladesh team has improved their game a bit in the second Test match, due to which they have been able to perform well in this match against West Indies. It is hoped that if Bangladesh team can play a little better, they will be able to equalize the series result against West Indies. While Bangladesh team had given a target of 164 runs on the first day, West Indies team was all out for 146 runs while trying to meet the target. And on the third day, Bangladesh team has already given West Indies a lead of 211 runs by batting, although Bangladesh team has lost 5 wickets, but if they can bat well tomorrow, they will be able to give a lead of 300 runs. However, Bangladesh team must keep in mind that they have to win this match against West Indies, otherwise they will lose the series. In that case, Bangladesh team will have to improve further in bowling so that they can bowl well against West Indies, only then Bangladesh team will be able to equalize the result of the Test series.

The bowling performance of the Bangladesh team has been very good in the first innings of the second match, Nahid Rana has performed the best. Now such a performance can be expected from the Bangladesh team only in the second match, then there will be a high chance of winning.
In the second match, the bowling performance of all the bowlers of the Bangladesh team was good, but Nahid Rana did the best bowling performance among them. West Indies batsmen did not deal well with Naheed's ball Because his bowling speed was very high, with Nahid Rana taking five wickets for just 61 runs in 18 overs.

West Indies team is not bad team and they can play against best teams. Even though they have had trouble playing well all time in past they are trying to get better. Team can adjust to different types of games like oneday games and play accordingly. In first game Louis did great job by scoring 97 runs from 218 balls, which showed that team can play good cricket. Because West Indies team is good at batting they can easily score over 300 runs and if Bangladesh plays well in second part of the game, it could end with a draw.

So the next batsmen should do well to give a big run lead in this match and the bowlers should perform as well in the second innings as in the first innings to bowl West Indies out for 146 very quickly.

West Indies was leading the game till the last day before Bangladesh got such a huge lead of 211, they also have full 5 wickets in hand and today they can score more than 100 easily if they will slowly and calmly. However, it depends on the weather that they can decide if they have to play fast and if they will score more than 60 runs then it is still good due to West Indies's poor batting form. Bangladesh would want to win this match today and not taking it to the last day with tricky weather conditions.

Bangladesh has given a lead of 211 runs so far, that means Bangladesh has five more wickets, although those wickets are not very reliable, if 50 more runs are added to Bangladesh's innings, then Bangladesh's lead will be 260 plus and if Bangladeshi bowling is as good as the first innings. If you can do it, maybe Bangladesh will have a chance to win. Zakir Ali and Taijul Islam are still unbeaten on the wicket, if they can get through the first session of the fourth day today, Bangladesh's lead may become 300 plus. However, we should not expect so much from Bangladesh as a support because the pace of Bangladesh's game can change in any direction at any time. The bowling performance of the Bangladesh team has been very good in the first innings of the second match, Nahid Rana has performed the best. Now such a performance can be expected from the Bangladesh team only in the second match, then there will be a high chance of winning.

Well.. it is crazy. After Bangladesh got bundled out for just 164, I was quite angry and posted here that they should not be allowed to play in the same league as other countries. But I was proven wrong. And the credit goes to Nahid Rana. His spectacular spell meant that Bangladesh was able to take a first innings lead of 18 runs. In a low scoring match, this can be important. And so far they look good in the second innings. Shadman Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz added valuable runs, but it could have been even better if they could have converted their good starts to half-centuries.
We were not only angry but also surprised to see how they managed to get the lead after scoring only 164 runs in the first innings. Anyways the job is not yet over for them as they have to make some decent runs in order to get a reasonable lead. The lead is not 211 runs and they still have 5 wickets in hand. Does this mean we shall see a 300+ runs lead later today? It may be possible if Jaker Ali continue from where he left off. Litton Das was the last man out when the Bangladesh score was 173, so this wicket partnership (Jaker & Taijul Islam ) added on 20 more runs and they will continue today on the fourth day.
