I like to talk a lot about cricket so I think I am lucky to be playing with them and look forward to learn new things," Tamim told. "It'll be an extra boost, so it is very important that I do well. More importantly, just like Shakib opened the door for me, I would want that with my inclusion in the IPL, it will let other players from my country to play in this competition.

"With the T20 World Cup coming up this year, it will be a big chance for me to perform in the format," Tamim said. Tamim would look to carry his form into the IPL - he hit four half-centuries in the recent Asia Cup - given his failure during the Bangladesh Premier League last month where he only played two matches for the Chittagong Kings and scored only eight runs.

West Indies' hopes of a first series win over Australia in 17 years were crushed when the tourists clinched a 30-run victory in a exciting fifth and final one-dayer. Chasing a victory target of 282, West Indies came excruciatingly close before Australia won to level the series 2-2 with one tie. From a seemingly hopeless position of 118/7, skipper Darren Sammy and all-rounder Andre Russell carved out a record eighth-wicket partnership of 101 off just 59 balls to take their team to 219/8 with nine overs left.

Sammy, batting at nine, raced to 50 off just 19 balls and was eventually last man out having hit a blistering 84 off 50 deliveries with six boundaries and six sixes. Russell made 41 off 33 balls before he was out lbw to Xavier Doherty, the Australians succeeding with a review after the batsman had been given not out. Once that partnership was broken, the Australians were almost home.

West Indies got off to a frightening start, losing opener Johnson Charles and Marlon Samuels, who were both dismissed for ducks by a fired-up Brett Lee in the first and third overs. Darren Bravo made just three off 21 balls when he was caught behind by Matthew Wade off Clint McKay with Dwayne Bravo becoming the fourth man out after a lazy prod to mid-off off Shane Watson ended his brief cameo of 19 from 22 balls.
