West Indies make good start but rain stops play

West Indies openers Sunil Ambris and Shai Hope have both hit half centuries to give the team an ideal start in the Tri-Nation Series final against Bangladesh in Dublin on Friday.

Put into bat first, the duo have put 131 afer 20 overs, but rain has stopped their charge for the time being.

In-form Hope is unbeaten on 65 while Ambris is not out on 59.

Bangladesh are without key player Shakib Al Hasan, who is nursing a back injury.

The teams played twice in the group stages, the Tigers winning both the games easily, but the final till now looks a different stroy.
