As things were looking good for Bangladesh, Nazimuddin ran himself out when the scoreboard read 61.

A few moments later, Ahmed edged Windies pacer Tino Best to wicket-keeper Ridley Jacobs.Despite a long stay at the wicket, Hossain could not complete his half-century and got dismissed by Austin at 45-ball 44 with five boundaries. Bangladesh witnessed a mini-collapse thanks to Suleiman Benn who got Khaled Mashud and Mohammed Rafique in two overs.Sharif, however, turned aggressive and hit three sixes to Austin in one over before Benn got his wicket.
