West Indies batted brilliantly and beat Bangladesh by seven wickets, claiming their first ODI series bilateral victory over the visiting Bangladesh in the past 10 years. The best performance in the match came by Jaden Seales who was so efficient in his bowling that he put in the most impressive performance of his career by taking four wickets and 22 runs. The brilliant opening bowl of his ruined his Bangladesh first-order, cutting the score of Bangladesh to 64/4 in 11 overs, and eventually completely out for 227 runs. West Indies easily won the game thanks to the impressive 82 runs scored by West Indies opener Brandon King
Early Strikes by Jayden Seales Set the Tone
West Indies elected to bowl first in St Kitts and got off to a flying start, thanks to Jayden Seales, who wreaked havoc in the powerplay by dismissing Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das and Bangladesh captain Mehdi Hasan Miraz in quick succession, leaving the visitors reeling at 54/3. Despite a counterattack from opener Tanzeed Hasan, who scored a quickfire 46 off 33 balls, Bangladesh faltered at 64/4 when Justin Greaves dismissed him.
Middle-Order Struggles and a Late Recovery
Bangladesh’s middle-order struggled to settle as Gudakesh Moti dismissed Afif Hossain and Zekar Ali in consecutive overs, leaving their score at 104/6 by the 21st over. The 92-run partnership between Mahmudullah (62) and Tanzeem Hasan Shakib (45) provided some measure of comeback. It was at this last juncture that the resistance made the score somewhat respectable, with Shoriful Islam playing a quickfire inning of 15 runs off 8 balls. However, Bangladesh’s innings ended at 227 in the 46th over when Seales returned to take the crucial wicket of Mahmudullah.
West Indies Dominate the Chase
Chasing a target of 228, West Indies got off to a strong start with a 109-run opening partnership between Brandon King and Evin Lewis. King played a brilliant inning of 82 runs, while Lewis contributed 49 runs. Although both fell short of their respective targets, their efforts provided a solid foundation. Casey Carty added a crucial 45, and Sherfane Rutherford chased down the target with an explosive innings of 24 off 15 balls.
