Shepherd to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, wowwww! Stood tall and absolutely smashed that onto the roof. Short and wide, smack me ball but Soumya timed that slap so well and it hit the roof and escaped the ground.The sound off the bat was something!

Honestly

Someone should do a stat on Sheppy’s first ball of each of his overs

I swear he gets hit for a boundary more often than other WI bowlers!!!

11.4
Alzarri Joseph to Jaker Ali, FOUR, short delivery, Jaker powers it off the back foot and he times the pull shot sweetly too. Good respone after getting hit previous ball

And followed by another short ball by Joseph. 4 ! Why cant Alzarri ever follow up a short ball with a full one on the stumps. He has the subtlety of a leg of ham

Shepherd to Jaker Ali, SIX, to backward square leg, the partnership between Jaker Ali and Soumya Sarkar is now

Fair catch. Good work Rovman

12.4
Shepherd to Jaker Ali, out Caught by Powell!!In the airrr, oh brilliantly taken! This was clearing the ropes at long-on, but Powell stretched his hands full length and caught it overhead. The momentum was taking him over the line so he released the ball before crossing. Got back into the field of play and caught it again. Great awareness and control from the West Indies captain. He wasn't pleased with the extra run being conceded last ball but that has now given way to this wicket because Jaker Ali wouldn't have faced this ball otherwise. The plan to bowl full and wide of off works. Jaker tried to fetch the loft but didn't hit it well.

NOT OUT

12.6
Shepherd to Soumya Sarkar, no run, In the airrr, brilliantly taken but they are checking if it's clean. Fingers under the ball, satisfied says the third ump. But he then sees the possibility of it being grounded when he was trying to roll and get up. Asks for a zoomer. Appears as if there is contact between ground and the ball he says and presses the Not Out button. So Soumya slogged and mistimed this short of length delivery. Deep mid-wicket ran in, dived low, caught it clean but when getting up he may have let the ball touch the grass

Not out

Motie try a ting. He should have known he grassed it ....

13.4
Roston Chase to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR, to third man

In reply to Chrissy

Motie is distraught, cyah blame him. Didn't get the basics right. Damn good effort tho.

Dropped by Chase now - should have left it for Fletcher
94/4 from 14

13.5
Roston Chase to Mahedi Hasan, 1 run, Chase has dropped a skier off his own bowling! Fletcher wanted the catch too, Mahedi was running the single. Maybe Roston Chase got distracted by the batter running in. Seemed straightforward but it's down. Flighted delivery, Mahedi mistimed the slog high

Taskin Ahmed to Brandon King, out Caught by Tanzid Hasan!! Taskin Ahmed draws first blood.. This was pitched up by the pacer and the ball shapes away slightly, Brandon King looks to flick it away, ends up getting a leading edge. The ball skies up in the air towards wide mid-off and the fielder stationed there quickly moves to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and holds on to the skier. Fine catch!

Mahedi Hasan to Fletcher, out Caught by Litton Das!! Mahedi Hasan on fire, that's his third wicket. Proving to be a match-defining spell by the spinner. A tossed up off-break outside off, Fletcher goes for a drive away from his body and gets an outside edge. Litton holds on to the catch behind the wickets and Fletcher departs without troubling the scorers. West Indies sink further as they are four down with hardly anything on the board.

We need to win the next 2 matches to win the series. This is what happens when you underestimate the opposition.

Badree was supporting Bangladesh.

11:42pm A classic contest. At the half-way stage, it felt that was not in the offing, especially with Bangladesh only managing 147. But they bowled and fielded their hearts out. Taskin got the ball rolling before Mahedi came into his own and ripped through the batting order, bagging a career-best four-wicket haul and leaving the hosts tottering at 61-7.

West Indies found a way to wrestle back the initiative. Captain Powell led the way with a blistering half-century and was supported by Shepherd. With 20 needed off 18, it seemed the hosts' game to lose, and they did lose it in the end. Taskin removed Shepherd at the start of the 18th and Powell, as push came to shove, could not find the fence with the regularity he did earlier. A game West Indies will definitely learn from, but also a game they, having come so close, will feel they should have done.

Mahedi Hasan, Player of the Match: We tried to bowl straight and stick to our process. I enjoyed this wicket. I played in the Global Super League before and that gave me confidence. Very good knock from Shamim. It was a crucial moment for our team. I tried my best to have a partnership (with Shamim).


Litton Das, Bangladesh captain: We have played here before. When I saw the wicket, it (the pitch) did not behave the way I thought. When we batted, we felt it was not a great wicket. We were thinking 150-160 would be a good total. We knew with the bowlers we had, we could fight (with our score). I want them (our team) to play aggressive cricket. They are showing their quality and playing really good cricket at the moment. It has been such a long tour. Good start (to win the first T20I). If we play good for another game, we can win the series.

Rovman Powell, West Indies captain: It is just a matter of us assessing it a little earlier. We could have consolidated a little bit more. The only time they would be in the game was if we lost wickets in clusters and we did that. It is a case of me being Powell the batter than just the captain. Good to see that I am getting a bit of consistency (in my batting). (On the death bowling) Always been a struggle for us. Over the last 12 months or so, we have improved. It was a credible bowling performance. As a batting group, we let down the team. (On Shepherd's role) We wanted a left-right combination against the left-spinner and wanted to access both sides of the field. Hopefully he can get more of an opportunity (moving forward). Great support (from the crowd), we need their support now more than ever. (On how they will recover before the next game) Having honest conversations (about what went wrong) We have been a T20 team that has played good cricket but in the last seven or eight games, we have lost our way.
