Welcome back. Bangladesh are in a huddle before they spread onto the field. Out come the West Indies openers - Brandon King and Johnson Charles in pursuit of a huge score. Taskin Ahmed will start with the ball for the visitors. Here we go!
…THE RUN CHASE…
Right then, the West Indies need to chase a record score of 190 to salvage some pride in the series. Can they do it or will Bangladesh make a clean sweep? Join us in a bit for the second essay.
Roston Chase is in for a chat. He says that the wicket is a lot better tonight. Feels that they have conceded a few runs too many but he backs the team to chase this down. Shares that Akeal Hosein is a vital player and not having him is a loss but cricket is a team sport and others must step up in his absence.
West Indies were below par with the ball and sloppy on the field. Romario Shepherd was the pick of the bowlers with 2/30 in his spell while Roston Chase and Motie also did a fair job. The home side leaked plenty of runs in the back half of the innings and this might come to bite them.
25 runs from the final over propel Bangladesh to their highest score of the series by a far margin as they finish with 189/7 in their 20 overs. Opting to bat first, Bangladesh got off to a powerful start with Parvez Hossain Emon and Litton Das who added 44 inside the first five overs. Emon was the aggressor of the duo with 39 off just 21. A couple of wickets fell in quick time before Mehidy Hasan and Jaker Ali added a handy 37-run stand. Mehidy departed on 29 but Jaker Ali carried on and smashed an unbeaten 72 off 41 to take his side toward the 190-run mark.
