Bangladesh created history with a remarkable 27-run victory over the West Indies in the second T20I at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown.  This series win is a monumental moment for Bangladesh cricket, as they secured their first T20I series victory in the Caribbean and ended a six-year wait for a bilateral series win against the West Indies. Shamim Hossain‘s decisive contribution earned him the Player of the Match award. The final match of the series presents an opportunity for Bangladesh to complete a historic whitewash, while the West Indies will aim to salvage some pride in what has been a challenging series.

Shamim Hossain’s heroics power Bangladesh’s innings

Opting to bat first after losing the toss, Bangladesh managed to post a modest 129/7 in their 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Shamim, whose explosive 35 not out off 17 balls, featuring two fours and two sixes, provided the much-needed late momentum. Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed a valuable 26 off 25 balls, while Jaker Ali chipped in with 21. West Indies’ bowling unit was disciplined, with Gudakesh Motie (2/25) and Akeal Hosein (1/16) leading the charge.

Bangladesh’s innings faced early jolts, as they lost Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan within the powerplay. The middle-order partnership between Mehidy and Jaker stabilized the innings before Shamim’s fireworks in the final overs lifted the total to a competitive level.

West Indies collapse under pressure

Chasing 130, the West Indies faltered against a disciplined Bangladesh bowling attack. Taskin Ahmed‘s fiery spell (3/16) dismantled the top order, removing key players Brandon King and Andre Fletcher early. Mahedi Hasan‘s all-round brilliance shone as he claimed 2/20 and kept the run rate in check.

Roston Chase tried to anchor the innings with a gritty 32 off 34, but the lack of support from the other batters proved costly. Hosein’s late effort of 31 off 31 was the only other notable contribution, as the West Indies were bowled out for 102 in 18.3 overs. Rishad Hossain (2/12) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2/22) provided crucial breakthroughs, ensuring the h??osts never regained momentum.

After a thriller in the first T20I between West Indies and Bangladesh, the two nations are set to face each other once again in the second T20I of the series. In the opening match, Bangladesh outp?erformed the home side to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The backdrop of the contest has been a neck-to??-neck tussle between the two sides in the Test series which ended in 1-1 draw. The Windies thrashed the Bangladeshi side in the ODI series with a 3-0 clean sweep for the former world champions.

West Indies vs Bangladesh

The win in the first T20I came as a breath of fresh air for the Bangladeshi side. The visiting side put up a total of 147 runs in 20 overs after the Windies won the toss and elected to bowl first. Soumya Sarkar‘s 43 off 32 balls was instrumental behind the Bangladeshi effort with the bat. Late contributions from Shamim Hossain (27 off 13), Jaker Ali (27 off 27) and Mahedi Hasan (26 off  24) also help-ed Bangladesh reach a respectable total. Chasing the total, the Windies fell short of the target by 7 runs, despite an emphatic knock from Rovman Powell of 60 runs in just 35 balls. Surprising the West Indies batters, the combined effort of the Bangladeshi bowling line-up proved detrimental for the West Indies with Hasan taking 4 wickets. Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud took 2 wickets each. The West Indies side have come up with an important announcement ahead of the clash against Bangladesh in the second T20I. The West Indies board has appointed former West Indies captain Daren Sammy as the head coach of the West Indies men’s team in all formats.

The 2nd T20I match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium witnessed a controversial umpiring decision that has sparked debate ??within the cricketing community. The Dec??ision Review System (DRS) once again came under scrutiny as the third umpire made a crucial error during the game.

Soumya Sarkar’s disputed dismissal

In the fourth over of Bangladesh’s innings, Soumya Sarkar was dismissed after the on-field umpire raised his finger to signal his dismissal. Sarkar had nicked a short-pitched delivery from Sri Lankan pacer Binura Fernando, prompting him to opt for a review immediately. Despite initial doubts, the big screen replay clearly showed a spike on the ultra-edge as the ball passed the bat??, indicating a clear edge.

Third umpire controversy

However, the third umpire, Masudur Rahman, controversially suggested that the s??????????????????????????pike could have been caused by? an external sound and claimed there was a discernible gap between the bat and ball. Despite the spike occurring after the ball had passed the bat, Rahman chose to overturn the decision, leading to a heated reaction from the Sri Lankan players.

Here is the video:

DRAMA! Clear noise > on-field umpire signals out > review taken > 3rd umpire rules not out despite UltraEdge!??
