West Indies 195-3 (Samuels 102* Russell 58) beat Bangladesh Cricket Board XI 120 for 6 (2-18 Samuels, Sammy 2-23) by 75 runs

Marlon Samuels hit a century and then takes two wickets for West Indies to deliver a comprehensive victory over a Bangladesh Cricket Board XI in a Twenty20 match in Fatullah. This was their last practice before the game in the series against Bangladesh on Tuesday.

Once you have chosen for BAT, the visitors lost their opening soon - Adrian Barath caught for Gully to 4 and Lendl Simmons were dismissed in the 12th there was little joy for the BCB XI, after so many Samuel and Andrew Russell muscled 102 runs in just over 10 overs. Samuels completed his half century off 33 deliveries with a desire to long-off, while Russell has reached his 31 off with a six over long on. Samuels has been explosive in the last four acquisitions during the innings, blasting 41 runs with successive sixes in the penultimate over to the Caribbean with a challenge 195th

BCB XI rarely seemed likely to pursue the goal high, especially after two starters Darren Sammy at low cost. Shahriar Nafees its captain and No. 4 Raqibul Hasan came to scoring 20, but his speed was not fast enough. The home side reached 71 for three in ten overs, but have been stripped of its momentum after the West Indies spinners hit - only 16 runs came in the next five overs and the match was over.
