Bangladesh tour of West Indies (2024) - Discussion Thread

Bangladesh needs to attcack now... if somehow they get one more wicket here so they can definitely win this match.
 
Very happy to watch Bangladesh lose. Thank God for a beautiful Thursday and good vibes for the weekend.
 
Poor death bowling from BD. Think this'll be the record chase at this ground.

Fabulous century on debut from Jangoo.
 
WI even rested a few players handed debuts to two players. Still there is a yawning gap between these two sides.
 
All over. Windies win by 4 wickets with 4 overs to spare.

They win the series 3-0 and complete the whitewash.

Make no mistake , the story is all about West Indies cricket.

Drawn ODI series in South Africa, 2 series wins against England and now a 3-0 thrashing of a team who had the wood over them for a decade and 11 matches.

All in the last year and a bit.
 
Prior to this series, Bangladesh were #8 in ODI ranking I believe. They slipped to #9 due to this whitewash.

When WI play to their true potential with a bit of strategy behind their game they can challenge most teams let alone BD
 
Bangladesh should have won this game after posting such total but Jangoo became Jangju for WI

Excellent win for WI. Many exciting young prospects for WI. BD is living up to everyone’s expectations and their full potential
 
They got some very cheap wins vs Windies. Windies are 2 time ODI Champs and CT Champions.
What do you mean by cheap wins? They were not fixed matches. Every team want to win. Bangladesh dominated over WI in this period. WI was superior side in this series to us as Bangladesh was in last 11
 
I think Bangladesh missed a trick by not playing a 3rd pacer. They went with 3 spinners. Not sure why.

This is a flat pitch.
That was a stupid decision. Bangladesh don't even have a good spinner. Mehedy ( he lost his form) and Nasum are average,Rishad is a poor leggie. How can you pick all three in same 11?

Last 16 ODI games between BD and Windies --> Windies won 4 and BD won 12.

Last time Windies won an ODI series against BD before this series was in 2014.

Agree.

They should've played Nahid Rana.

I also believe Rishad should be dropped.
 
They all have beastly hitting ability. They have to mix the defense and aggression in right proportion to do well in all conditions.
WI never did it. Otherwise they would have won at least one ODI world cup. Just all IPL superstars from number 1 to 7 batting position in WI team with decent bowling line up - but they never dominated limited overs international matches!! They never played the game with brain ,they did it with muscle 💪🏽 only

Rishad should go back to first class and list A and learn to have control over his line and length. He just has no control. International matches aren't the place to learn.

I mean in last 2 decades.
 
West indies has been winning games due to thier batting and that is a scary thing if you are talking about white ball cricket.

This team can beat any other team. Crazy hitting ability these guys have.
 
Debutant Jangoo and Carty Lead West Indies to ODI Series Sweep Against Bangladesh

West Indies chased down a challenging 322-run target to secure a 3-0 series win against Bangladesh in St Kitts. Debutant Amir Jangoo’s unbeaten 104 and Keacy Carty’s 95 were instrumental in the victory. Jangoo became the first West Indian in 46 years to score a century on ODI debut, forming crucial partnerships with Carty and Gudakesh Motie. Motie’s quick 44 off 31 balls ensured the team’s win.

Bangladesh posted a formidable 321 for 5, powered by Mahmudullah (84), Mehidy Hasan (77), Soumya Sarkar (73), and Jaker Ali (62). Despite their efforts, West Indies prevailed with Brandon King, Sherfane Rutherford, and the debutant Blades contributing significantly.

West Indies lost early wickets, but partnerships between Rutherford and Carty, followed by Jangoo and Motie, steered them to victory. Jangoo’s sixes and boundaries, combined with missed opportunities by Bangladesh, were decisive.

In contrast, Bangladesh's strong batting, including a record sixth-wicket stand between Mahmudullah and Jaker, couldn't secure them a win. The hosts’ effective chase marked their fourth successful 300-plus target pursuit in ODIs, highlighting Jangoo’s standout performance.
 
After redaing tweet of Bishop saw the highlights. wow this Jangoo is very good against spin. Inside outside shot, then clearing the front leg to despoit arm ball into stands. Very decisive.
 
Ban is humiliating after they won against Pak series.They are no longer in motion in anything
This is not humiliation . WI were superior on their home soil. Bangladesh scored 321,295 runs . Winning the toss batting first was the case and Bangladesh lost all 3 tosses. Fizz, Mushfiqur,Shanto were missing.
 
Bangladesh's T20I squad to face West Indies

Squad:
Litton Kumar Das (Captain), Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Jaker Ali Anik, Shamim Hossain Patwari, Sheikh Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Hasan Mahmud, Ripon Mondol, Nahid Rana

Series schedule:

1st T20I: December 16, St. Vincent

2nd T20I: December 18, St. Vincent

3rd T20I: December 20, St. Vincent
 
West Indies vs Bangladesh, 1st T20I at Kingstown

West Indies win the toss and elect to field

Bangladesh XI: Litton Das (capt & wk), Shamim Hossain, Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Afif Hossain, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud

West Indies XI: Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Andre Fletcher, Rovman Powell (capt), Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy
 
Liton Das should be dropped from all LOI. He is terrible in both ODIs and T20s. However, he is decent in Test and should just focus on that.
 
Bangladesh Secures Thrilling Victory Over West Indies in T20I

In a nail-biting finish, Bangladesh secured a seven-run win over West Indies in the first T20 International match at the Arnos Vale Ground. The match saw a thrilling effort from Rovman Powell, who scored an impressive 60 off 35 balls, but ultimately fell short.

Heroic Last Over by Hasan Mahmud

The turning point of the match came in the final over when Hasan Mahmud bowled a heroic spell to seal the victory for Bangladesh. With West Indies requiring 10 runs to win, Mahmud removed Powell and Alzarri Joseph in consecutive deliveries, securing Bangladesh's first T20I win against West Indies in six years.

Powell's Near-Miss

Initially, the match looked to be slipping away from Bangladesh as West Indies were reduced to 61-7 in the 12th over. However, Rovman Powell and Romario Shepherd combined to revive their side's chances. Powell struck four sixes and five fours in his 35-ball 60, reducing the asking rate from over 11 to eight in the space of 12 balls.

Mahedi Hasan's Impressive Spell

Bangladesh started strongly with the ball, with Taskin Ahmed dismissing Brandon King with his first ball. Mahedi Hasan then took center stage, claiming four wickets for 13 runs in his four-over spell. He had Nicholas Pooran stumped, Johnson Charles caught at mid-off, and Andre Fletcher caught behind, before dismissing Chase inside-edging a reverse sweep. By the time Mahedi finished his quota, Bangladesh were firmly in control of the game.

Match Details
  • Bangladesh: 147/6 (Soumya 43, Hosein 2-13, McCoy 2-30)
  • West Indies: 140 (Powell 60, Mahedi 4-13)
  • Result: Bangladesh won by 7 runs
 
Don't think any team has won chasing at Arnos Vale and Rovman chose to chase ? Stupidity .

Anyway, Windies thrashed BD mercilessly in ODIs.

They are a superior T20 side also regardless of this one off result.

Whether they bat first or second, West Indies are likely to struggle in St. Vincent.

Conditions there tend to assist spinners.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if BD win this T20 series 2-1 or even 3-0.

St. Vincent pitch is very spin-friendly. This is ideal for Bangladesh and not ideal for West Indies.

ODI series happened on flat pitches. So, BD struggled.

In ODI we need to kick out some dead bit players like Litton. Once Fizz, Shanto, Towid returns it will be much stronger team.

In T20s, we need to try new players like Jishan Alam in opening. Tanzid isn't cutting it.

Yes, a 20 year old kid who hasn't even made it to BPL and scored in the national league without any international player playing is the one who is going to save BD batting.
 
2nd T20I today.

BD - 129/7 (20 overs).
Windies - 33/4 (6.2 overs).

97 are needed off 82 balls.

Pitch seems quite sluggish.
 
We are winning the series in our weakest format, draw the series in the format where we have started to become competitive occasionally, and got whitewashed in our best format lol. One of my Indian friends said in terms of unpredictability we are discount Pakistan, cant argue with him anymore
 
Bangladesh Secures First T20I Series Win in West Indies

Bangladesh's bowlers delivered a stellar performance to defend a modest total of 129 for 7, ultimately bowling out the West Indies for 102 and winning the second T20I by 27 runs at Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent. This victory marks Bangladesh's first T20I series win in the West Indies.

Though Bangladesh had previously won a T20I series against the West Indies in 2018, two of the three winning matches were played in Florida, USA.

Taskin Ahmed spearheaded the bowling attack with two early wickets in his first over. Mahedi Hasan also made significant inroads with the new ball, leaving the Windies in trouble during the Powerplay. Other pacers joined the effort, with Rishad Hossain taking two crucial wickets in the 17th over, bringing Bangladesh close to victory. Taskin sealed the win by dismissing Akeal Hossain for 32, finishing with impressive figures of 3-16. Tanzim Sakib, Rishad, and Mahedi each claimed two wickets.

Earlier, Bangladesh's batting innings started slowly, reaching just 45 runs in the first 10 overs while losing four wickets, including Miraz who contributed a few crucial runs. Struggling at 88 for 7 after Jaker Ali's dismissal, a cameo from Shamim Hossain, who scored a quick 35 off 17 balls, helped Bangladesh reach a total of 129 for 7.

That is encouraging.
World cricket needs a strong WI team.
Bangladesh didn't play too bad actually as what the odi series results show. It was a clinical performance from WI.

Yeah BD actually played good cricket bar the 2nd odi. But WI power hitting was too much in for our bowling.

I am happy with the result of 3-0 tbh. I am one of the only few may be who wants BD to play the ODI WC qualifiers, if we don't qualify we do not deserve to play the WC.
 
It's a good series for us, much better than what I expected. I'll take 1-1 Test Series and 2-0 lead in T20I more than the 0-3 drubbing in ODI.

I think, ODI team is going through a massive transition and it'll take some time to take Mushi, Shakib, Mahmudullah out of the mindset of our players. But, they lost mainly because WIN played too well - I don't think this WIN team will chase 300ish target often against same BD attack some other days. They did get early breakthroughs but three almost unreal innings recovered for WIN.

But, that Test win was priceless and beating any WIN side in T20 is an achievement for the boys. I think, we need to replace few batsmen from younger group immediately, hoping that at least one of them clicks for long term - each of Jishan, Aziz (ul), Arif should be must pick for the series after BPL, probably Amite as well.

Yeah. I wouldn't say this was a bad series.

Test series was drawn 1-1. Windies won the ODI series while BD won the T20 series.

I give the tour a B+ performance rating.
 
Ranking and Results dont matter whole lot in limited over formats. Whats important is are the underlying issues getting sorted out. For teams like BD, there are just way too many gaps to fill. If they cannot start posting 300+ totals in ODI and 180+ totals in T20I on flat surfaces, they will always be pretty useless teams in the tournament. They also need to know how to bowl on flat surfaces.

I still have nightmares of Klassen and Miller smashing BD bowlers out of the park during ODI WC'23.
