West Indies is taking on Bangladesh in Match 23 of the ongoing ICC World Cup at Taunton. The match is scheduled to commence at 3 pm (IST). Both the Windies and Bangladesh are keen on getting back to winning ways after suffering losses or wash outs in their previous encounters. Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and elected to field first. The Bangla Tigers have made one change in the form of Mithun who makes place for Liton Das. Mortaza: We would like to bowl first. There are some patces in the wicket and our batting has been good, we have been chasing well. We have been on and off, two days of break and have been practicing continuously for the last 4-5 days. Boys are well prepared. Mithun is not playing. Liton Das comes in for him and hopefully he can play some shots. He is a top-order batter and we are backing him. Holder: Probably an opportunity to put some runs on the board. We don't want to drop our intent and we want to be a little smarter and play well. One change for us. Carlos Brathwaite is out and Darren Bravo is in.
