Mahmud's last over assists Bangladesh with enduring Powell's barrage
Bangladesh impeded Rovman Powell's staggering work to drive West Indies to a far-fetched success, after Hasan Mahmud safeguarded nine runs in a courageous last over to seal a seven-run triumph in the main T20I at the Arnos Vale Ground. The limit swarm were given an outright exhilarating challenge in West Indies' most memorable global match in St Vincent in 10 years. While guarding 147, Mahedi Hasan's four-wicket pull decreased West Indies to 38 for 5 preceding Powell struck four sixes and five fours in his 35-ball 60, yet he couldn't exactly convey them as far as possible in the wake of falling in the last finished.
Mahmud eliminated Powell and Alzarri Joseph in the last over what began with West Indies requiring ten races to win. Mahmud had Powell found behind giving the Bangladesh commander Litton Das his fifth excusal of the game. With eight to win off the last two, Mahmud bowled Joseph for Bangladesh's first T20I win against West Indies in quite a while; back home in Bangladesh it was an effective method for beginning the country's Triumph Day as well.
Powell the almost man
However, it was all turning out badly for Bangladesh for around four overs. West Indies were 61 for 7 in the twelfth over when the skipper Powell, who had up to that point struck a four and a six, was joined by Romario Shepherd to revive his side.
The pair joined to take 15 off Rishad Hossain in the fourteenth over, before Powell sent off Taskin Ahmed for three sixes in a 23-run over to decrease the asking rate from more than 11 an over to eight an over in about 12 balls. Powell cut the initial six against Taskin over additional cover, the following one high over point, prior to completing the over with a delightful straight hit.
Tanzim Hasan then went for 12 runs in the sixteenth over with Powell hitting him for two fours, one of them raising his 50 years off only 28 balls, to carry the condition to 28 to win from 24 balls. There was no eased up from the opposite end as well, as Shepherd pummeled Rishad for his initial six despite the fact that he fell in the following over when Taskin had him gotten at profound midwicket, for 22 off 17 balls.
Mahedi skittles WI top request
Bangladesh began staggeringly with the ball when Taskin had Brandon Lord gotten at mid-off with his most memorable ball. Six balls later, Mahedi tempted Nicholas Pooran into a charge, and beat him with a straight conveyance to have him befuddled for 1. Mahedi then had Johnson Charles got at mid-off after he had struck Tanzim for two sixes in a 25-run over.
Mahedi struck two times in the seventh over when he had Andre Fletcher, a somewhat late substitution in the crew, got behind before Roston Pursue fell inside-edging a converse compass. When Mahedi completed his share of four overs for 4 for 13, Bangladesh were in charge of the game until Powell set free.
Hosein's initial strikes
West Indies also had an extraordinary powerplay with the ball when Akeal Hosein struck on successive balls. By tidying up Tanzid Hasan for a 11-ball 6, Hosein turned out to be West Indies' most elevated wicket-taker during powerplays in home T20Is. He went past Samuel Badree's 16 wickets in that period of the innings and furthermore keeps on being the main wicket-taker among spinners in powerplays since his T20I debut in July 2021.
Next ball, Hosein proceeded with Litton Das' run of unfortunate structure from the ODIs, taking his straightforward bring get back. It was Litton's second duck in succession on this visit in the wake of scoring 4 and 2 in the initial two ODIs.
Bangladesh's batting recuperation came by means of sixes. They struck nine in the innings, the most they have struck against West Indies in T20Is. The sixes, notwithstanding, began coming from the eighth over. Jaker Ali lobbed Pursue down the ground before Soumya Sarkar crushed Shepherd over covers. He glued Gudakesh Motie for two additional sixes in the eleventh over, trailed by Jaker cutting Shepherd over square leg. At the point when Obed McCoy eliminated Soumya for his 50th T20I wicket, Bangladesh were getting lost with five overs remaining.
Shamim Hossain, playing his first T20I in quite a while, got into the demonstration next. He top edged Alzarri Joseph for his initial six, preceding going straight against McCoy for a similar outcome. Shamim got one more against Joseph in the eighteenth over, before Mahedi shot McCoy for a six over additional cover in the last over to almost take them to 150.
