James DudkoFeb 21, 2015

West Indies rebounded from being stunned by Ireland in their opening match by thumping Pakistan at the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. On the same day, play between Australia and Bangladesh was abandoned when a heavy downpour dampened proceedings.

Australia vs. Bangladesh

The no result between Australia and Bangladesh still had a minor effect on the tables. The ICC official Twitter feed detailed how:

Pakistan vs. West Indies

West Indies eventually took this match by a healthy 150 runs. But it wasn't until late in the batting order that their dominance was established.

In particular, Lendl Simmons was very effective. ESPNcricinfo reporter Sidharth Monga noted how Simmons ruthlessly punished the bottom end of Pakistan's bowling depth: "He targeted Haris sensibly to expose the lack of a fifth specialist bowler, hitting him for a six and two fours in the 42nd over."

Simmons batted his way to half a century of runs. Denesh Ramdin added another 51, per the ESPNcricinfo scorecard.

The Pakistan batting order certainly didn't enjoy the same success. The problems started early as the top order was stifled by Jerome Taylor.

The aggressive fast bowler took three wickets from seven overs and produced a 2.14 economy rate. But it was the way Taylor blanked the top order that really stood out, according to Sky Sports: "Taylor removed Nasir Jamshed, Younus Khan and Haris Sohail for ducks in the first three overs as Pakistan slipped to 1-4—the worst start in ODI history—in pursuit of Windies’ 310-6."

Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq blamed failings at every level of the team for the defeat, per ESPNcricinfo writer Umar Farooq. It's hard to argue with the captain's assessment when the primary batsmen faltered and the bowling lineup couldn't control West Indies' late hitters.

Speaking of the West Indies, the nation has been inconsistent so far at this tournament but still sits second in Pool B. While the current team is far from as strong as those of the glory years, Taylor, Simmons and company could still spark a few more shocks at this world cup.
