Bangladesh v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 - West Indies in Bangladesh ODI Series - 3rd ODI – Live Score and Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 227 v West Indies 228 - West Indies won by 4 wickets (with 18 balls remaining)
After having two successful games, hosts Bangladesh were not so lucky in their third outing against West Indies, where they lost by four wickets as they failed to defend 227 runs, at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur.
Going into the match with a 2-0 lead behind them, the hosts were certainly the favourites as the Windies had experienced rough conditions before this clash.
With two more games left in the series, the hosts now require one win to lift the cup, while the Windies will now have to take their winning streak to the final game at Dhaka on December 08.
While it was a collective effort by the tourists, MN Samuels, was without a doubt the star of the show as his well tamed knock of 126 saved the series for his side.
Earlier today, the West Indies put Bangladesh into bat as they wanted their bowlers to come to terms with the Bangladeshi wicket.
Nonetheless, their plans almost went awry when Bangladesh openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anamul-Haque-c44160 moulded a partnership of 57 runs.
Finally, Narine drew first blood by dismissing Iqbal, who had scored 22 runs off 30 deliveries. The bowler struck again to give his side another breakthrough when he nabbed the wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naeem-Islam-c2053, who could muster only four runs. By this time, the hosts had managed to reach 61 runs, and then with 67 on the board, they lost their third batsman of the day, triggering panic in their camp.
With things almost heading for doom, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahmudullah-c1877 jabbed an inspirational knock of 52, which helped his side post 227 on the board before crumbling.
The Windies had a disappointing start to their run chase, as they lost their first wicket with only 15 on the board. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 was the first casualty as he fell after scoring only four runs.
It was the second-wicket partnership between KOA Powell and Samuels that turned the tables and made it easier for the remaining batsmen to reach the target as they hammered the score to 126. The Windies won the match for the loss of six wicket in 47 overs.
