The match was played at St John's stadium in West Indies as a part of Associate tri-series where three teams Bangladesh, Bermuda and Canada involved ahead for 2007 world cup.

Bangladesh posted a target of 279 after Shakib Al Hasan registered his highest ever ODI score. In reply, Canada had the worst possible start when Abdool Samad returned back to the pavilion after he was retired hurt and soon Ashish Bagai departed for a golden duck.

But a breathtaking 177 runs stand between Geoff Barnett and Ian Billcliff transformed the game in Canada’s favour. Unfortunately, they slumped from 178/1 to 195/4 losing both the set batsman and eventually lost the most by 13 runs. Barnett ended with 77 off 123 deliveries, hitting 6 fours and 2 sixes and Billcliff too hit 6 fours and 2 sixes during his 114 balls 93.
