Cricket WCup update: Bangladesh beat West Indies by seven wickets

TAUNTON, United Kingdom (AFP) — Bangladesh powered to the second highest run chase in World Cup history as Shakib Al Hasan’s brilliant century clinched a memorable seven-wicket win over the West Indies on Monday.

Shakib blasted 124 from 99 balls and Linton Das hit a superb 94 from 69 deliveries to lead Bangladesh to 322-3 with 8.3 overs to spare at Taunton.

Bangladesh’s joint highest one-day international run chase put them behind only Ireland’s 329-7 against England in 2011 in the history of successful World Cup chases.

Mashrafe Mortaza’s side remain in with a chance of reaching the semi-finals after their second win in five matches.
