| 1.6 : 1.6: Taskin Ahmed to Evin Lewis, FOUR! Three dot balls and Evin Lewis releases the pressure with a boundary. Taskin Ahmed serves it full and wide outside off, at 146 kph, Lewis gets the room to free his arms and he smashes it through the gap at extra cover for a boundary. Spoils a good over from Taskin. |
| 2.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Evin Lewis, OUT! CAUGHT! Evin Lewis departs. Clever deception from Mustafizur Rahman, something he is known for! Serves it on a length around middle and leg, at 126 kph, Evin Lewis tries to stay back and swing it over the leg side. But the ball arrives late to gather the toe end of the bat. It goes high in the air towards square leg, Mushfiqur Rahim comes running in and takes the skier safely. A big setback for West Indies as Lewis has been the only batsman for the |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Mahedi Hasan to Chris Gayle, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! The sorry form of the Universe Boss continues and Mahedi Hasan has hit the jackpot. A slider around off, lands on a fuller length and skids on with the angle of the arm. Gayle plays all over it as he tries to swing it across the line. Misses the ball completely and the stumps behind are shattered. The West Indian batting under the pump yet again. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Shoriful Islam to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Only the second boundary of the Powerplay for West Indies. Back of a length, around middle and leg, Hetmyer uses the pace of the bowler and tucks it wide of short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Mahedi Hasan to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! TAKEN! It is taken this time! Not Chase, but Hetmyer will walk back to the hut now. Tossed up, around off. Hetmyer clears his front leg and looks to go over long off. He does not middle it at all though. The ball goes to long off and Soumya Sarkar takes the easiest of catches there. The defending champions are in big, big trouble now. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Roston Chase, FOUR! That is only the third boundary in the game so far! Usually, the West Indian batters will score three boundaries in the same over, but it has been a different game of cricket here. Short of a length, on the pads. Chase pulls it nicely. The man from deep square leg runs to his right, puts in a dive and gets his hand to it but cannot push it back in. Boundary. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Taskin Ahmed to Roston Chase, OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, my god! Things go from bad to worse for West Indies. This is probably the last thing they wanted at this point in time. Full ball, on off. Chase drives it nicely down the ground. But Taskin Ahmed puts his right foot out. The ball is deflected and hits the stumps at the other end. Andre Russell is way outside the crease and the umpire raises the finger. A diamond duck for Dre Russ and West Indies are staring down the barrel. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Roston Chase, FOUR! That's a good shot! Fuller in length, on off. Roston Chase stays deep in the crease and smashes it towards long off. The fielder there dives to his right to stop the ball but fails. A boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Good connection on that! Now, the boundaries have started to come for West Indies! Mustafizur Rahman shortens his length, outside off. Nicholas Pooran waits for the ball to come and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Shakib Al Hasan to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Dispatched! Flatter ball, on middle, Nicholas Pooran sits on one knee and slog-sweeps it powerfully over deep square leg for a biggie. Pooran is looking in good touch. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Shakib Al Hasan to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Make that two in a row! Touch fuller this time from Shakib, on off. Nicholas Pooran again goes down on one knee and slog-sweeps it over deep square leg for another biggie. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Mahedi Hasan to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! BANG! Pooran is targetting the spinners! Pitched up, on leg. Nicholas Pooran smashes it straight down the ground and over long off for a maximum. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Mahedi Hasan to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Pooran is turning it on! Flatter and very full from Mahedi, on leg. Nicholas Pooran makes enough room to tonk this back over the bowler's head for another maximum. The 50-run stand comes up off just 33 balls. West Indies are finishing on a high! |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Shoriful Islam to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! TAKEN! Shoriful Islam gets the breakthrough. Length delivery, outside off and slower in pace. Nicholas Pooran tries to cream this one towards deep extra cover but he doesn't get it from the middle of the bat. Mohammad Naim is present over there in the deep and takes a simple catch. End of a very good knock from Pooran. He departs for 40 off just 22 balls. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Shoriful Islam to Roston Chase, OUT! TIMBER! Shoriful Islam gets two in two! Back-of-a-length delivery, on middle and leg. Roston Chase makes room for himself and tries to swipe it across the line. He misses and the stumps behind him get rattled. Another one bites the dust for West Indies. Shoriful Islam is on a hat-trick now! |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Dwayne Bravo, OUT! CAUGHT! West Indies slip further! Good-length ball, angling across, outside off. Dwayne Bravo tries to free his arms and lift it over covers. But he gets no distance whatsoever. Soumya Sarkar is stationed at sweeper cover and takes a simple catch. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Jason Holder, SIX! Jason Holder, you beauty! A gift from Mustafizur Rahman as he bowls a full toss, on leg. Jason Holder with sublime timing lofts it off his pads over deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Jason Holder, SIX! Another one! Slower delivery, in the slot. Jason Holder was waiting for it and heaves it over deep mid-wicket for another maximum. He was dropped by Afif Hossain in the previous over and now is making Bangladesh pay for it. Valuable runs for West Indies! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Kieron Pollard, SIX! BANG! Pollard finishes the innings with a maximum. Full and on leg, Kieron Pollard doesn't flinch a bit and simply flicks it with his powerful wrists over the cow corner fence. WEST INDIES FINISH WITH 142/7! |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Jason Holder to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR! Up and over! Holder delivers it on a length and in the line of the stumps, Shakib jumps down the track, makes room and whacks it over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Ravi Rampaul to Mohammad Naim, FOUR! Shot! Rampaul hurls across a delivery on the shorter side, it's around middle, Naim hangs on the back foot, brings his bottom hand into play and whips it to the deep mid-wicket fence. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Andre Russell to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT! Shakib Al Hasan departs cheaply. Change in pace does it for Andre Russell. He lands it on a fuller length around off, angling away, Shakib Al Hasan is way too early into his shot and miscues it in the air as his bottom hand comes off the handle. The ball flies straight into the hands of Jason Holder inside the ring at mid on. A big blow to Bangladesh. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Andre Russell to Mohammad Naim, FOUR! Aerial but safe! Short in length and on middle, Naim gets on top of the bounce and pulls it over mid-wicket. Hayden Walsh flies across to his right inside the circle but it's wide of him. A boundary results. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Jason Holder to Mohammad Naim, OUT! Drags it on! Jason Holder is already having a huge impact on this match. Scored handy runs towards the end and now has a wicket to his name after bowling economically in the Powerplay. Back of a length around off, angling away at 129 kph, Mohammad Naim stays rooted to the crease as he tries to punch it through the line. But the slowness of the pitch means that the ball arrives late and takes the inner portion of his blade. It then cannons onto the stump |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Andre Russell to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR! Oh, that is crunched! Shorter ball, outside off. Sarkar pulls it wide of deep mid-wicket. The ball lands just inside the rope and goes over it. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Dwayne Bravo to Liton Das, FOUR! Glorious stroke! Another slower ball, on off. But this time, Das comes down the track and drives it. The man at short cover dives but has no chance and the ball runs away to the fence. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Akeal Hosein to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR! Quality stroke! Sarkar gives the charge so Hosein drags his length back. But Sarkar pulls it to the mid-wicket fence. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Akeal Hosein to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! TAKEN! WHAT A CATCH! You do not see Chris Gayle take such catches often but he has done it here! Sarkar backs but Hosein sticks with his line and bowls a flatter ball, on middle and off. Sarkar looks to flick but gets a leading edge. The ball flies to short third man and the big man, Chris Gayle, takes a couple of steps forward, puts in a dive to take a very good low catch. This is a big wicket as Sarkar was looking in good touch. 83 runs needed in 56 |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Akeal Hosein to Liton Das, FOUR! Good shot! Shorter ball, on leg. Das pulls it away. The man from deep square leg runs to his left, dives but cannot stop the ball. Boundary. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Dwayne Bravo to Liton Das, FOUR! Another poor ball and punished again! Short ball, down the leg side. Das pulls it to fine leg. Ravi Rampaul runs to his right, dives and gets his hands to it. But the ball has enough momentum to get to the ropes. |
| 13.1: Ravi Rampaul to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR! That is nicely played! Short of a length, on off. Mushfiqur Rahim makes room for himself and cuts it towards deep backward point. The ball races away to the boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Ravi Rampaul to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Ravi Rampaul provides the breakthrough! He bowls it on a good length, on off, slower in pace, Mushfiqur Rahim shuffles across and tries to paddle scoop. He misses it completely and the ball crashes onto the stumps. Rahim was trying to be fancy but pays the price in the end. Bangladesh lose their fourth wicket. 53 needed from 39 balls! |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Andre Russell to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Connects this time and how! Touch fuller, on middle. Mahmudullah simply flicks it with his wrists to deep square leg for a boundary. Two fielders in the deep but he bisected them to perfection. Vital boundary. |
| 15.5: Jason Holder to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Mahmudullah is playing his part with the bat! Brilliant shot. Slower ball, on middle and leg. Mahmudullah strides across and scoops it to the fine leg region to fetch a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Ravi Rampaul to Liton Das, FOUR! Eased away! Rampaul strays down the leg side in his attempt to follow the batsman, Liton picks it off his pads and neatly deflects it towards fine leg for a boundary. 26 needed off 17 balls. |
| 18.1: Dwayne Bravo to Mahmudullah, SIX! A telling blow from the bat of Mahmudullah! Fuller in length and outside off, slower in pace, Mahmudullah attacks it with all his might and plunders it behind the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Dwayne Bravo to Liton Das, OUT! CAUGHT! Fuller and wider outside off, Liton Das walks across and tries to go downtown over long on. It comes decently off the blade but doesn't have enough wings to fly over long on. Jason Holder is near the fence, he uses every bit of his height as he jumps and catches it over his head. End of a fine knock by Das but Bangladesh needed a set batsman in the last over. 13 needed off 6 balls. |
