Venue: Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram

West Indies XI:

1 Brandon King, 2 Alick Athanaze, 3 Shai Hope (Capt & WK), 4 Roston Chase, 5 Sherfane Rutherford, 6 Rovman Powell, 7 Jason Holder, 8 Romario Shepherd, 9 Akeal Hosein, 10 Khary Pierre, 11 Jayden Seales

Bangladesh XI:

1 Litton Das (Capt & WK) 2 Tanzid Hasan Tamim, 3 Saif Hassan, 4 Jaker Ali, 5 Shamim Hossain, 6 Towhid Hridoy, 7 Taskin Ahmed, 8 Rishad Hossain, 9 Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 10 Nasum Ahmed, 11 Mustafizur Rahman

West Indies have won the toss and have opted to bat

Shai Hope: We are going to do the same again, we will bat. I think runs on the board is a good thing. The pitch looks a little dry than the first one. [What worked in first T20I?] It was just about having a nice template. That was a brilliant template from the first game. Just need to add a few things. If they follow that, we are going to get a score. Hopefully 20 runs extra. No changes.

Litton Das: Last couple of series, the bowlers have done their job. As batsmen we need to come up. The wicket looks pretty good and in the second half there will be dew, anything 180 will be a good score. When you are chasing a big total against a good team, we need to come up with a good plan. The top four batters have to bat 15 overs and then the rest of the battle becomes easier. One change, Jaker Ali comes in for Nurul Hasan

@Narper

West Indies unchanged.

Taking bets athanaze going get out sweeping straight balls on the stumps

@velo

Das dropped King first ball.

0.1

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Brandon King, 1 run, dropped! In the corridor of uncertainty, seams away after landing, Brandon King pokes at it and gets a healthy outside edge behind. Litton Das dives to his right but it pops out. That one came at a good height to Litton. He would be disappointed on having dropped that

W

Taskin Ahmed to Brandon King, out Caught by Towhid Hridoy!! Soft dismissal! 136kph length delivery swinging in on off, Brandon King doesn't move his feet much and drives it on the up. No real timing on that one. Hridoy at mid-off moves to his left and takes it safely. Ideal start 

Brandon King c Towhid Hridoy b Taskin Ahmed 1(4)

King gone for 1.

This is a certain win for the West Indies.

Shai Hope, right handed bat, comes to the crease

1.6

Taskin Ahmed to Athanaze, FOUR, that's sloppy! Athanaze uses his feet and drives it towards mid-on. Hridoy moves

King needs a break has been looking very scratchy for a while

@velo

King has too many defensive frailties.

He needs to work on that.

2.2

4

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Athanaze, FOUR, a difficult chance goes down! Length delivery on middle and leg, Athanaze clears his front leg and hits it to the right of mid-on. Hridoy leaps to his left and gets both his hands to it but it bursts through his hands

2.6

6

Tanzim Hasan Sakib to Athanaze, SIX, shot! A short of length delivery that sits up nicely for Athanaze. He gets into a good position and pulls it with authority over deep mid-wicket for a flat maximum. That was struck with a lot of power. 11 runs off the over

3.2

6

Taskin Ahmed to Shai Hope, SIX, crunched! Length delivery shaping in on off, Shai Hope clears his front leg

Mustafizur to Shai Hope, FOUR, gorgeous stroke! A length delivery shaping away from Shai Hope. He stands tall and punches it on the up through point to find the fence. The timing was spot on there

WI 38-1(5) CRR:7.6

Shai Hope 15(11)

Alick Athanaze 20(15)

Hope needs to give up the gloves. He looks a different batsmen when WI bats first

@Narper

Hope and Athanaze putting together a good partnership.

Nope!

Athanaze gets his half century 👏

10.5

Shamim Hossain to Shai Hope, SIX, the 100-run stand comes up between the duo! In the slot, Shai Hope clears his front leg and tonks it over long-on for a flat maximum

10.6

Shamim Hossain to Shai Hope, 1 run, 8th T20I fifty for Shai Hope! He has batted with both composure and poise and is looking hungry for more. Full delivery around off, Shai Hope drives it through extra cover to retain strike

11.2

W

Nasum Ahmed to Athanaze, out Caught by Tanzid Hasan!! Nasum Ahmed provides the much-needed breakthrough to his side! Slower through the air and on a back of a length around off, Athanaze goes for the pull but miscues it towards deep mid-wicket. Tanzid Hasan runs in from the deep and accepts it gleefully. He was early into the stroke and paid 

Athanaze c Tanzid Hasan b Nasum Ahmed 52(33) [4s-5 6s-3]

Rutherford is a model of consistency. 😎

Rutherford

🙄

1.3

W

Nasum Ahmed to Rutherford, out Bowled!! Two wickets in two balls for Nasum Ahmed! He is turning things around. 95.7kph quicker and flatter delivery on off. It's the slider as well. Rutherford hangs back to keep it out 

Rutherford b Nasum Ahmed 0(1)

Rutherford has become a walking wicket, I think it is time for him to be dropped now. Talented player but he really needs to do better!

WI108-3(12) CRR:9

Shai Hope 52(32)

Rovman Powell 1(2)

I really hope that the West Indies don't botch it up from here. After the loss of King early, Hope and Athanaze put on a really good partnership. We should be looking at over 200 runs with the current score.

12.5

W

Mustafizur to Shai Hope, out Caught by Shamim Hossain!! Three wickets in a space of 10 deliveries for Bangladesh! They are well and truly back into the game! The well-set Shai Hope also makes his way back to the hut. A slower off-cutter on a fullish length outside off, Shai Hope goes for a booming drive through extra cover perhaps but ends up slicing it towards backward point and doesn't bother to keep it down. Shamim crouches a bit and takes it safely.

 Shai Hope c Shamim Hossain b Mustafizur 55(36) [4s-3 6s-3]

Good second wicket partnership wasted.

🙄

Powell out for three.

Holder out for four.

Rishad weaving his web.

@Narper

Typical West Indies, it is so sickening! 105/1 to 118/5, DISGRACEFUL!!!!!

14.1

W

Rishad Hossain to Powell, out Caught by Mustafizur!! Rishad Hossain delivers straightaway in his second spell! On a back of a length on off, turning away shaprly, Powell is caught in the crease as he tries to work it across but ends up getting a leading edge towards backward point. Mustafizur takes an easy catch. The momentum of the game has completely changed.

Powell c Mustafizur b Rishad Hossain 3(9)

What the so and so are these men doing. This is absolute garbage now!!!!! 118/6, this team is just poor!

14.4

W

Rishad Hossain to Holder, out Caught by Towhid Hridoy!! Another one bites the dust! The Windies have lost the plot! 

Holder c Towhid Hridoy b Rishad Hossain 4(4) [4s-1]

@Windiesfan78

106-2 now 118-6 😃

@Windiesfan78

The selection is poor . Everyone except 27 know Rutherford needs dropping.

I will eat my hat if he is not selected in the final match

25/5 in the last 5 overs, we really deserve to lose this. This is inexcusable to say the least

Man they are so frustrating to watch holder dismissal was a dissapointment for a experienced player.

We need younger hungry players and 27 must go

WI 125-6(16) CRR:7.81

Roston Chase 3(3)

Romario Shepherd 5(6)

@Windiesfan78

West Indies batsmen can't read Rishad.

@velo



The Windies have lost the plot - they have lost 5 wickets for just 12 runs.

We were 105/1, wickets in hand and can't even make 170.

19.1

Mustafizur to Shepherd, out Caught by Jaker Ali!! Mustafizur gets his second wicket! A shortish delivery and there's some width on offer, Shepherd tries to cash in as he flays at it but it flies off the outer half towards squarish third man. Jaker Ali stationed there doesn't need to move an inch and reverse cups it with ease.

Shepherd c Jaker Ali b Mustafizur 13(16) [4s-1]

The Fizz gets rid of Shepherd.

@Narper

The Fizz bowls Pierre first ball.

19.2

Mustafizur to Khary Pierre, out Bowled!! Two in two for Fizz! Just like Nasum earlier, Mustafizur is now on a hat-trick! A skiddy back of a length ball around off, skids after landing and seams in sharply too. Khary Pierre tries to pull it across but is beaten for pace and the ball crashes into the stumps.

 Khary Pierre b Mustafizur 0(1)

19.4

Mustafizur to Roston Chase, FOUR, nicely done! An off-pace shortish delivery outside off, Roston Chase lines it up and pulls it hard over mid-wicket

19.6

Mustafizur to Roston Chase, out Akeal Hosein Run Out!! West Indies finish with 149/9! It has been a brilliant turnaround for Bangladesh. A short delivery shaping across, Roston Chase misses the pull. Akeal Hosein takes off for a run but Roston Chase slips and hesitates and sends his partner back. Litton Das throws it back to Fizz

 Akeal Hosein run out (Litton Das/Mustafizur) 1(1)

Seales drops one now. 😬

Seales held on this time.

Shepherd to Tanzid Hasan, out Caught by Brandon King!! The set batter is gone! Does it mean the end of Bangladesh? They will certainly hope not. Shepherd bowls to his field. Angles it outside off and asks Tanzid to hit it over the off-side,

King held another catch!

@Narper

Pierre holds on.

Jaker out to Shepherd.

Holder yorked him!

18.1

Holder to Shamim Hossain, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Holder does a jig as well. West Indies right on top now. The yorker can't get anymore perfect. Aimed for the base of off-stump and Shamim is late in bringing his bat down, the ball sneaks through and flattens the off-pole. Bangladesh have lost 3 wickets in 7 balls and the asking rate keeps climbing. 

Shamim Hossain b Holder 1(2)
