Bangladesh crush West Indies by 179 runs to clinch ODI series 2-1

Dominant Bangladesh crush West Indies by 179 runs in series decider, securing 2-1 ODI victory through spin bowling masterclass at Mirpur.

"It was a spin masterclass from the hosts - Match Report"

Mirpur, October 23

Bangladesh produced a dominant all-round performance to thrash West Indies by 179 runs in the series decider at Mirpur on Thursday, sealing the three-match ODI series 2-1. After posting a strong total of 296/8, the hosts bowled out the visitors for 117, wrapping up the innings inside 30.1 overs, all with spin.

The result came after West Indies had edged Bangladesh in a thrilling Super Over in the second ODI, where West Indies completed their fifty-over quota with the spinners but in the decider, it was all one-way traffic as Bangladesh's spinners ran riot to humiliate the visitors in a one-sided contest.

It was a spin masterclass from the hosts, who used their slow bowlers. Nasum Ahmed (3/11) and Rishad Hossain (3/54) shared six wickets between them, while captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2/35) and Tanvir Islam (2/16) picked two apiece.

West Indies never found any momentum, losing wickets in clusters. Alick Athanaze (15) was the first to fall with the score at 16, followed by Ackeem Auguste as the visitors slipped to 28/2. Brandon King's dismissal was the next. They were 39/3 in the first ten overs.

Skipper Shai Hope also failed to fire, managing just 4 runs. The visitors reached 50 in the 14.3 overs and were nine down before they could even touch 100. Akeal Hosein, who top-scored with 27 off 15 balls (4 fours, 1 six), was the last man to be dismissed.

Earlier, after winning the toss and electing to bat, Bangladesh openers Saif Hassan and Soumya Sarkar gave their side a dream start with a 176-run opening stand. Both fell short of their hundreds but ensured a strong platform for the middle order.

Saif smashed 80 off 72 balls with six boundaries and six sixes, while Soumya Sarkar scored a fluent 91 off 86 deliveries, hitting seven fours and four sixes.

Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 296/8 in their 50 overs. Akeal Hosein stood out with the ball for West Indies, returning impressive figures of 4/41 in his 10 overs.

That opening partnership of 176 runs between Saif Hassan and Soumya Sarkar set the perfect platform. Both played brilliantly but sad they missed their centuries. Still, great team effort!

West Indies' batting collapse was shocking. All out for 117 in 30 overs? They need to work on playing spin better, especially in subcontinent conditions. Akeal Hosein was the only positive for them.

Bangladesh's spin quartet was absolutely lethal! This reminds me of how our Indian spinners dominate at home. Good to see Asian teams showing their strength in spin bowling. Well played, Bangladesh! 👏

After that heartbreaking Super Over loss in the second ODI, Bangladesh came back strongly. Shows great character from the team. Captain Mehidy Hasan led from the front with both bat and ball.

While Bangladesh played well, I think the pitch was too heavily tilted towards spinners. Would have been more interesting to see a balanced wicket that tests both batting and bowling skills equally.

Soumya Sarkar's 91 was a treat to watch! He's been inconsistent but when he fires, he's so elegant. Hope he maintains this form. Bangladesh cricket is growing stronger year by year. 🇧
