| 1.5 : 1.5: Al Hasan to S Hope, FOUR! Glorious shot. First boundary of the match. Tossed up outside off, Hope leans and drives it through the covers! |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Al Hasan to K Powell, FOUR! Lovely shot this time. Full and around off, Powell leans into this shot and lofts it over the bowler's head for a boundary! |
| 6.3: M Hasan to S Hope, FOUR! AWESOME! Flighted outside off, a touch wide, Hope leans into this one and drives it through the covers! |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Al Hasan to K Powell, OUT! There goes the first wicket! Powell is out of here. Flighted outside off, Kieran comes down the track and has a wild swing. Is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and miscues it badly. The ball goes up in the air and Rubel Hossain runs back to take it at point. The openers nearly saw off the two new balls but have perished just before the Mandatory Powerplay ends. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: M Rahman to S Hope, FOUR! First boundary after 42 balls! A rare bad ball, short and down the leg side, Hope tickles it fine. Long leg is very square and cannot get there! |
| 14.1 : 14.1: M Mortaza to D Bravo, FOUR! Welcome into the attack, skip! Fine way to raise the 50 for the Windies. Full and outside off, Bravo leans and lofts it over extra cover for a boundary! |
| 20.4 : 20.4: M Mortaza to D Bravo, OUT! STUNNER BY TAMIM! He's back from an injury layoff and this catch shows that he's fully fit. Mortaza serves an off pace delivery and lands it on a length outside off. Bravo's eyes lit up after watching the width and he goes hard at it. But it takes the top edge and flies towards wide long off. Tamim sets off from the deep, rushes across to his right, realizes that a dive is the need of the hour and pulls off a beautiful catch. |
| 24.3 : 24.3: M Mortaza to S Hope, OUT! Straight to the man! Hope's watchful innings is over. Full and wide outside off, Hope slashes hard but cannot quite get it over point. Mehidy Hasan over there leaps in time to take it nicely. A decent 43 from Hope but he has been dismissed just when the attack was about to begin. |
| 27.6 : 27.6: R Hossain to M Samuels, DROPPED, FOUR! Tough chance for Mahmudullah. Full and outside off, Samuels backs away and slaps it towards mid off. Mahmudullah leaps to his right but the ball bursts through his hands to the boundary! |
| 28.1 : 28.1: M Hasan to S Hetmyer, OUT! BOWLED! Hetmyer is out of here. Horrible ball to face, if you are a batsman. Nothing much he could have done about that. Mehidy does the basics right by keeping it in line of the stumps. Now, the length is short and hence Shimron goes back to play it through the off side. But to his horror, the ball stays low and skids beneath his bat. Crashes into the leg stump. Certainly not the easiest of pitches to bat on but the Windies need at least a 100 more. |
| 30.6 : 30.6: M Hasan to M Samuels, FOUR! Lovely shot. Full and outside off, Samuels comes down the track and lofts it over mid off for a boundary. |
| 34.3 : 34.3: M Rahman to R Powell, FOUR! Fine shot. Full and outside off, Rovman leans and drives it wide of mid off for a boundary! |
| 36.1 : 36.1: M Mortaza to R Powell, OUT! Captain gets captain! Mash strikes immediately on return. A length ball outside off, Powell looks to go over the top but cannot hit it cleanly. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat and lobs to mid off where Liton Das takes the easiest of catches. |
| 39.2 : 39.2: R Hossain to M Samuels, OUT! In the air and taken! Windies' last hope, probably, departs. Samuels is gone. A length ball, around middle, Marlon backs away a touch and looks to go over the top. But the ball bounces a touch low and goes off the bottom of the bat. Still, the connection is decent. Liton Das is stationed at long on and for a moment, it seems like it will elude him. But he leaps at the right time to take the catch. The ball wobbles a bit in his hands but he does not let it or hi |
| 43.6 : 43.6: M Mortaza to R Chase, SIX! Ho ho ho! Shut the press down totally now! The Windies are trying to do something different now. They have been stalled so far and they are trying to break free. A boundary after 56 balls. A length ball on middle, Chase swings it high and handsome over mid-wicket! |
| 46.2 : 46.2: R Hossain to K Paul, SIX! Great shot! Full and outside off, Paul gets underneath this one and sends it sailing over mid off. Clears the fence as well! |
| 46.6 : 46.6: R Hossain to R Chase, FOUR! PLUNDERED! Short and wide outside off, Chase flashes hard and gets it past point for a boundary! Brings up the 50-run stand as well. 15 runs from the over! |
| 47.2 : 47.2: M Rahman to R Chase, OUT! Caught! London looking, Tokyo turning, Dhaka beckoning. A short ball, around off, Chase swivels and looks to pull. But the ball comes ever so slightly and goes off the top edge. It goes straight up in the air and Mehidy Hasan at backward point takes it nicely. Decent innings from Chase under the circumstances. |
| 48.1 : 48.1: R Hossain to K Paul, SIX! HUMONGOUS! Rubel is being taken to the cleaners at the death here. A length ball, that too at this stage, asking for trouble, begging to be hit and it is hit. Swatted miles over mid-wicket. Paul moves to 23 from 25 balls. |
| 48.6 : 48.6: R Hossain to K Paul, FOUR! What a shot! Rubel has seen two sides of the coin in this game. His first 8 overs had figures of 1/32. His last 2 have gone for 29. A length ball on middle, Paul gets down on a knee and whips it over mid-wicket, one bounce and into the ropes! |
| 49.2 : 49.2: M Rahman to K Paul, OUT! Fantastic catch from Mehidy! A slower bouncer, around off, Paul swings hard but only manages a top edge. The ball swirls in the air and Mehidy circles under it at point. For a second, it seems like he will miss it. But in the end, he keeps his eyes on the ball and catches it efficiently! |
| 49.4 : 49.4: M Rahman to D Bishoo, OUT! Caught and bowled! Number 9 is down. The off cutter from the Fizz, Bishoo backs away and looks to cut but the ball barely reaches him and the batsman realizes late. Tries to bail out of the shot, aiming to defend but it is too late. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat, back to the bowler who gets across to his right and takes a good catch. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: R Chase to L Das, FOUR. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: R Chase to L Das, FOUR! Another boundary. Second in the over. Full and outside off, Das gets down and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket for a boundary! |
| 7.6 : 7.6: R Chase to T Iqbal, OUT! Tamim departs! Big wicket for the Windies. Outside off, Tamim looks to cut but the bounce gets big on him. He looks to check his shot but ends up slicing it. A simple catch to Devendra Bishoo at cover-point. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: O Thomas to I Kayes, FOUR! Streaky. On a length outside off, Kayes looks to defend but is squared up. The ball takes the outside edge and goes past second slip to the third man fence. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: O Thomas to I Kayes, OUT! BOWLED! Beaten by pace! What a ball from Thomas. Fiery pace. Bowled at 144.2 kph, on a length outside off. Kayes looks to defend but the ball snakes in off the seam, before the bat can even come down. Even when it does, it is outside the line. Kaboom. Timber. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: D Bishoo to L Das, FOUR! That relieves the pressure. Short and outside off, Das rocks back and cuts it behind point for a boundary! |
| 14.3: O Thomas to L Das, FOUR! Fine shot. The length is not all that short but Das goes back and punches it on the up through the covers. 129 more needed from 213 balls. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: K Paul to L Das, FOUR! Lucky boundary! Full and outside off, Das looks to drive but the ball goes off the outside edge, through the vacant slip cordon to the third man fence! |
| 17.3 : 17.3: D Bishoo to M Rahim, FOUR! Lucky this time. Full and around middle, Rahim looks to reverse sweep but the ball takes the top edge and goes over short third man to the fence. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: K Paul to L Das, OUT! BOWLED! That is a poor shot. A nothing delivery, on a length, just outside off. Das however, tries to manufacture a pull shot, in a lazy manner. Just looks to whip without moving his feet and pays the price. Is nowhere near the ball and misses. The stumps are rattled. The 47-run stand is broken but Bangladesh need 107 more from 190 balls. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: K Paul to Al Hasan, FOUR! Quality shot. Dropped short, Shakib swivels and pulls it behind square leg. The good thing about that shot was that the ball was not in the air for a long time. |
| 20.5: K Paul to Al Hasan, FOUR! Lovely shot. On a length outside off, Shakib punches it through the covers and gets a boundary. The stand is now worth 12 from 15 balls. 100 UP FOR BANGLADESH. Another 95 needed from 175 deliveries. |
| 20.6 : 20.6: K Paul to Al Hasan, FOUR! Another boundary! Even better from Shakib. The length is fuller and Al Hasan promptly drives it through mid on. The fielder is a bit wide and it beats him. Shakib moves to 13 from 11 balls and this is his third boundary. |
| 23.6: R Chase to M Rahim, FOUR! Full and outside off, Rahim brings out the reverse sweep and gets it over short third man for a boundary! |
| 24.3 : 24.3: K Roach to M Rahim, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Rahim slashes hard and gets a top edge over the slip cordon to the third man fence! |
| 24.5 : 24.5: K Roach to Al Hasan, FOUR! Stunning shot. Full on middle, Shakib just drives it straight back past the bowler down the ground! 58 more needed now, from 151 deliveries. |
| 25.6 : 25.6: R Chase to M Rahim, FOUR! AWESOME! Full and outside off, Rahim leans into this one and drives it through the covers! |
| 26.1 : 26.1: R Powell to Al Hasan, OUT! Caught behind! The captain has struck first ball. Can he produce some inspiration and get Windies back into the game? Not many runs to play with. A loose shot from Shakib. He was anyways playing in a manner to finish the game quickly and has eventually perished. Full and wide outside off, Shakib looks to drive but with his feet glued to the crease. An outside edge is induced and Shai Hope takes the simplest of catches. A breezy cameo from the former captain and o |
| 26.5 : 26.5: R Powell to S Sarkar, FOUR! Not in total control. A length ball outside off, Sarkar chips it over mid off and gets a boundary. Almost gave a simple catch. |
| 28.1 : 28.1: O Thomas to M Rahim, FOUR! JUST WIDE! That made Rahim hop. He was not on total control as he tried to work a short ball around the corner but the pace did him in. He tucked it towards fine leg but his heart would have been in his mouth when Shai Hope dived to his left. |
| 28.4 : 28.4: O Thomas to S Sarkar, FOUR! Smart batting. Short and outside off, Sarkar arches back, uses the pace of the bowler and ramps it wide of square third man. 29 more needed now. Soumya moves to 13 from 10 balls and this stand is worth 21 from 15 deliveries. |
| 28.5 : 28.5: O Thomas to S Sarkar, SIX! Ho ho ho! This is even better! Thomas does not learn and goes shorter and quicker. Outside off, Sarkar leaps and upper cuts it over deep backward point! |
| 29.2 : 29.2: R Chase to S Sarkar, OUT! That Drinks break has broken the concentration of Sarkar. Classic off-spinner's dismissal. Full and outside off, Soumya reaches out to push but the ball spins away, takes the outside edge and skipper Rovman Powell pockets a simple catch at first slip. Just delaying the inevitable. Only 21 more needed. |
| 31.4 : 31.4: R Chase to Mahmudullah, SIX! Fine shot. Out of the blue. After blocking and blocking, suddenly Mahmudullah jumps out and whips it over mid-wicket. Flat hit. 9 more needed now. |
