Shakib Al Hasan smashed an unbeaten 40 and took 2 wickets as Bangladesh sealed ODI series win vs Windies to make progress in ICC ODI Super League.
Shakib Al Hasan continued his dream comeback in international cricket as he dazzled with a superb all-round show in the second ODI against the West Indies in Mirpur. After having taken magnificent figures of 4/8 in 7.2 overs, Shakib Al Hasan repeated his magic in the second ODI in the same venue as he took 2/30 and smashed an unbeaten 43 to help Bangladesh win the match and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Shakib Al Hasan was aided by Mehidy Hasan's 4/25 as Bangladesh moved to third in the ICC ODI Super League standings which is the qualification cycle for the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup which will be held in India.
West Indies won the toss and chose to bat and they started off in a solid manner despite Sunil Ambris falling cheaply. However, the inexperience of the Windies side came though yet again as they lost four wickets for five runs from which they recovered. Mehidy Hasan was in fine form while Shakib Al Hasan got the wicket of Andre McCarthy and captain Jason Mohammed. Mustafizur Rahman continued his fine show with 2/15 as West Indies were bowled out for 148 for the second consecutive time without batting fifty overs.
Easy for Bangladesh
Tamim Iqbal held firm for Bangladesh as he shared important partnerships with Liton Das and Najmul Hossain. Tamim Iqbal was in fine form with a fifty but when he fell, West Indies sensed an opening. However, Shakib Al Hasan displayed immense confidence and rotated the strike well as Bangladesh won with 100 balls to spare by seven wickets.
Bangladesh is now in the third spot with 20 points from two matches while Australia and England are in first and second spots having played six ODIs. Australia has won four matches while England is with three wins. Australia has 40 points while England has 30 points. India's next series in the ICC ODI Super League 2023 qualification cycle will be against England in March.
