Bangladesh v West Indies - West Indies in Bangladesh ODI Series - 5th ODI – Live Score and Update
West Indies 217 v Bangladesh 221/8 - Bangladesh won by 2 wickets (with 36 balls remaining)
It was a sad day for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, as after winning two back to back games in order to not only level the series but to take it to the final match, the tourists lost only by two wickets on Saturday, at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, as Bangladesh took the series by 3-2.
Going into the game, the hosts were under pressure as they needed to win in order to prevent a series defeat, while West Indies were banking on their winning streak to continue.
While the hosts had dominated the opening two games, they were humbled in the next two outings, giving the tourists a chance to get back in the tournament.
After winning the toss, Bangladesh chose to field first as they wanted to restrict their opposition on a small total, which would be easier for their batsmen to chase later in the day.
They made a quick impression when, with just 16 on the board, they grabbed their first wicket when Sohag Gazi dismissed KOA Powell.
A run later, they lost two more wickets, putting the Windies on the back foot. Nevertheless, the fourth-wicket partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754 damaged the Bangladeshi attack as the batsmen gave a defiant fight back by hammering the score to 149.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mominul-Haque-c77642 brought them back when he clean-bowled KA Pollard, who fell after jabbing a productive knock of 85 runs.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 gave an insipid performance as he could score only two runs before losing his wicket.
With Bravo belting 51 runs, the Windies crumbled after posting 217 on the board in 48 overs.
This was a decent target and worth a fight, which meant that Bangladesh would have to play a calculated knock in order to win.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758’s five-wicket haul was also not good enough today as the hosts reached the target in 44 overs for the loss of eight wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahmudullah-c1877, who hammered 48 runs and grabbed two wickets was named as the Player of the Match.
