The small but boisterous crowd at the National Stadium, Providence was silenced yesterday as the hosts, West Indies, suffered the indignity of a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the first One Day International yesterday.
The West Indies might in hindsight, blame the early morning showers and the few damp spots on the outfield, but in reality it was another damp batting display that was really the cause for their defeat.
The match began shortly before lunch with Bangladesh winning the toss and inserting West Indies in the 41-overs-a-side affair.
