Bangladesh Stun India

Port-of-Spain saw the tournaments first big upset when Bangladesh defeated India in a closely contested Group B Match. Mashrafe Mortaza inspired a clockwork bowling effort, helped largely by a slew of sloppy strokes, a young bowling attack showed composure beyond their years to turn a tricky chase into a stroll, winning by five wickets.

Final score:
Bangladesh: (5 wickets; 48.3 overs) 192
India: (all out; 49.3 overs) 191
