In an exciting encounter between West Indies Women and Bangladesh Women in the 2nd ODI, Bangladesh emerged victorious by 60 runs. After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the West Indies bundled out Bangladesh for a low score. However, a collapse in their own innings led them to face the defeat in the game.
Clinical bowling pack Bangladesh for a low total
West Indies Women put on a clinical display with the ball to restrict Bangladesh to a modest total. Karishma Ramharack was the star with the ball, picking up 4 wickets for just 33 runs. Aaliyah Alleyne also played a pivotal role, claiming 3 wickets for 24 runs. Despite a solid 68-run knock from Nigar Sultana, Bangladesh struggled to reach a competitive score, finishing their innings at 184 all out in 48.5 overs.
Aaliyah Alleyne and Qiana Joseph’s unusual celebration
What truly caught the eye of fans was Alleyne’s unique celebration after taking the final wicket of Bangladesh’s innings. Alleyne had earlier claimed the prized scalp of Sultana, and with her final strike, she helped West Indies wrap up Bangladesh’s innings.
But it was her exuberant celebration that stole the show. After removing Fariha Trisna, Alleyne ran towards her teammate Qiana Joseph, who was positioned at square. The duo then engaged in a vibrant and unconventional dance celebration, where they lay down on the ground, their backs facing the sky, before performing a 360-degree roll to celebrate the moment. The video of their dance quickly went viral, adding an extra layer of excitement to the match.
