- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 Bowled'im!! that was short of a length on the off stump, very slow through the air, takes forever to get to Nafees who tries to cut, gets a thin outside edge onto the off stump. That may well have sealed it for World XI 89/63.2 short of a length on the off stump, Nazim had made up his mind, tried to pull it over mid wicket but failed to connect well, got the top edge, and Ian Harvey at mid wicket ran back a few steps to take a well judged catch 28/18.3 gone this time! that was flatter, bowled on a good length on middle and leg, drifting into the batsman, Aftab came down the track and went for a big heave, gets an thin inside edge and Nixon behind the stumps collects it cleanly. Aftab is out finally! 75/29.3 short of a length outside off, Kapali tries to pull it over mid wicket, gets the top edge, Harvey at short mid-wicket judges this one to perfection and takes a comfortable catch 76/311.5 slower ball outside off, Bashar pulls it away straight to short mid wicket where Harvey takes a straightforward catch. Bangladesh in a spot of bother here 87/412 gone! short on the off stump, Karim plays a loose pull straight to Andrew Hall at mid on. Bangladesh throwing it away here 87/512.5 short on the off stump, gets on the back foot and lofts it straight to Gillespie at long off. Poor shot! 90/716.4 slower ball pitching on leg stump, Rafique walked across and tried to flick it over short fine-leg, missed it completely, and the leg stump is out of the ground. 115/818.4 flighted on middle, much fuller, Baishya pushes it back to the bowler, and Boje bends down to take a good low catch 142/9Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL155/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Nazimuddin, 3.2 ov), 2-75 (Aftab Ahmed, 8.3 ov), 3-76 (Alok Kapali, 9.3 ov), 4-87 (Habibul Bashar, 11.5 ov), 5-87 (Mahbubul Karim, 11.6 ov), 6-89 (Shahriar Nafees, 12.2 ov), 7-90 (Dhiman Ghosh, 12.5 ov), 8-115 (Mohammad Rafique, 16.4 ov), 9-142 (Tapash Baisya, 18.4 ov)
