West Indies beat Bangladesh in 2nd ODI

West Indies took on Bangladesh in the second ODI at Warner Park, Basseterre in St Kitts on Tuesday. The contest witnessed a clinical performance from the hosts as they won the game by 7 wickets. With the victory, the Caribbean side also took a 2-0 lead in the 3-match series.

Bangladesh struggle to build partnerships

Despite a promising start by Tanzid Hasan, who scored a quick 46 off 33 balls, the visitors failed to build substantial partnerships. Mahmudullah’s resilient 62 off 92 balls stood out, while Tanzim Sakib contributed a gritty 45 off 62. However, regular wickets curtailed Bangladesh’s momentum, and they were bowled out for 227 in 45.5 overs.

Jayden Seales stars with the ball

West Indies’ bowling attack, led by Jayden Seales, put on a clinical display. Seales claimed 4 wickets for just 22 runs in his nine overs, dismantling Bangladesh’s top order and playing a pivotal role in restricting the visitors. Gudakesh Motie provided excellent support with figures of 2 for 36 in his 10-over spell, while the remaining bowlers chipped in with crucial breakthroughs to ensure the visitors couldn’t post a challenging total.

Brandon King leads a dominant chase

In response, West Indies made light work of the target, chasing down 230 with 13.1 overs to spare. Brandon King anchored the innings with a magnificent 82 off 76 balls, hitting 8 fours and 3 sixes. Evin Lewis contributed a steady 49 off 62, and Keacy Carty played a fluent knock of 45 off 47. Contributions from Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford ensured a smooth finish, as the hosts reached 230/3 in 36.5 overs.

The Bangladesh bowlers found it challenging to contain the West Indies batters on a favorable surface. Nahid Rana, Rishad Hossain, and Afif Hossain managed to pick up a wicket each, but their efforts were insufficient against the dominant West Indies lineup. Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Sakib conceded runs heavily, failing to create pressure.

For his exceptional bowling performance, Seales was rightly awarded the Player of the Match. His fiery spell not only dismantled Bangladesh’s batting lineup but also set the tone for a commanding West Indies win.
