Stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier in the innings, Bangladesh bowlers justified their skipper's decision of bowling first by taking three early wickets. They executed their plans really well and kept things tight throughout. Taijul Islam ended with a five-wicket haul. Nicholas Pooran was the only batter who stood out for the hosts. During the chase, Bangladesh were put under pressure in patches but they managed to get over the line to end the series on a high.
The hosts put up a solid fight but it wasn't enough against this experienced lot of Bangladesh batters. They only were able to take a single wicket inside the first Powerplay. Although, it was Gudakesh Motie who impressed with his four-fer in an economical spell. He dominated the proceedings in the middle overs and kept his side in the hunt. In the slog overs, West Indies bowlers were unable to keep things tight and eventually failed to get over the line.
The visitors started cautiously with Tamim Iqbal dominating the opening play, although Najmul Hossain Shanto never looked settled and departed early on. The skipper continued the good work with Litton Das on the other end. The latter racked up his half-century as well to ease down some pressure off his team. Several batters contributed to the victory, it was Mahmudullah who played a vital knock to get his side closer to the victory line. In the end, Mehidy Hasan and Nurul Hasan applied the finishing touches with their unbeaten stand of 32 runs.
Bangladesh extends their winning streak against West Indies in ODIs to 11 wins on the trot. They have also completed a clean sweep over West Indies in this ODI series. West Indies were bowled out in every single match in this series and they would be very disappointed about the same.
