West Indies posted a moderate total of 247 for 9 in 50 overs in the 5th match of the ongoing Tri-Nation Series against Bangladesh at The Village in Dublin, Ireland on Monday, reports UNB.

West Indies failed to make an ideal start in the match as they posted only 37 runs in the first wicket stand. Sunil Ambris, who scored a ton in the previous game against Ireland, fell for 23 runs.

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza broke the opening stand of the Caribbean.

West Indies lost three more wickets before reaching the 100-run mark. Darren Bravo, Roston Chase and Jonathan Carter failed to impress as they fell respectively for 6, 19 and 03 runs.

Two of them were removed by Mustafizur Rahman and another one was taken by Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

West Indies made an act of redemption in the fifth wicket stand when Hope and Holder added 100 runs to the board. Hope was doing well enough to register his fourth ODI ton against the Tigers. But he failed to judge the angle of the ball of Mashrafe and gave a catch to the wicketkeeper.
