Earlier in the day, Bangladesh struggled with the bat for most parts of their innings but a good cameo from Mahedi Hasan and an excellent knock from Shamim Hossain took them to a decent score which we still felt was under par. However, an excellent combined bowling effort has helped them get over the line.

Powell and Romario Shepherd stepped on the gas and they started striking it big! A few big overs and the game was right in the gasp of the Windies. It came down to the Windies needing just over a run-a-ball but the likes of Taskin, Tanzim and Hasan bowled three brilliant overs towards the end to record a remarkable victory.

Bangladesh were brilliant with the new ball. Das was exceptional with his changes. The pacers kept it tight and Mahedi Hasan ran through the top order in no time. West Indies looked dead and buried when they were 7 down and needed over 10 per over.
