Sri Lanka recorded a second win, comfortably beating Zimbabwe by seven wickets while in the only ODI of the day, West Indies beat Pakistan by eight wickets. Helmien Rambaldo's Dutch side bounced back from its recent defeat to beat the USA at Khanshaheb Osman Ali Stadium.

At the only ODI of the day, Pakistan took on West Indies at BKSP 3, with Sana Mir winning the toss and electing to bat against Merissa Aguilleira's side. The Pakistani batting attack struggled against a fine performance of spin bowling from West Indies vice-captain Anisa Mohammed who, like Richardson in the Ireland game, walked away with five wickets.

Pakistan's opener, Sana, along with Nain Abidi, proved to be the only batters of note in the side, with the former scoring 49 while the latter managed 53 against one of the most favoured teams in the tournament.

It was then up to the inform all-rounder Stafanie Taylor to open the batting in reply for the West Indians, and despite her losing her opening partner, Juliana Nero, for five, and then Shanel Daley shortly after, the ICC Women's Cricketer of the Year 2011 stuck out the innings alongside Barbadian Deandra Dottin.

Dottin is perhaps best known for her quick fire century at the ICC Women's World Twenty20 2010 in St Kitts, but this time round the 20-year-old struck a patient innings of 60 in 97 balls to help the West Indies to another win in the event.

On the opposite ground at the Bangladesh Institute of Sport, Zimbabwe faced an inform Sri Lanka and it was a day for five wicket hauls, this time with Sri Lanka's Chamani Seneviratna claiming five wickets off the African side after the batters this time failed against the pace of the ball.

The 33-year-old dismissed both openers, Ashley Ndirya and Sinikwe Mpofu and then fourth batter Julia Chibahba to have the Zimbabweans reeling on three wickets for just six runs by the fifth over. Sri Lanka's bowling continues to be tight with the side bowling just eight wides and the attack preventing the Zimbabweans from scoring runs, which meant that once Seneviratna had worked her magic the team were 62 all out in 42 overs.

In response, Sri Lanka's top order didn't quite live up to the mark, with only Yashoda Mendis proving her worth finishing the day 35 not out, while her fellow three top-order batters departed to Sharyce Saili medium pace bowling. The Zimbabwean tempted Chamari Athappathua and Shashikala Siriwardene to edge the ball and to be caught while Inoka Galagedara had her stumps flattened. Mendis, alongside Sandamali Dolawatter steered the island to victory in the 10th over.

Tomorrow will see Zimbabwe take on USA at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Japan play West Indies at Khanshaheb Osman Ali Stadium, Netherlands play South Africa in the only ODI of the day at BKSP 2 and hosts Bangladesh face Ireland at BKSP 3.
