This will be a day-nighter. Can West Indies bounce back or will Bangladesh seal the series?
 
Bangladesh doing pretty well. Seems like they're still competitve in ODIs. Just need to get some power hitters to be good in T20s.
 
Game getting very tight here for BD. Mushfiqur is the key here.
 
Lmao Bangladesh.

Needed 8 off 7 balls. Sabbir Rahman on 12*. Mushfiqur Rahim on 68*.

Both out trying to hit a 6 back to back.

8 needed off 5 balls now.
 
Brilliant win for West Indies, Bangladesh will be disappointed. The series now is level at 1-1.
 
Poor from Bangladesh they needed 12 runs off 11 balls with 6 wickets in hand at the end and considering that they lost by some margin which is unbelievable.

Excellent come back from Windies
 
Mushi and being caught in deep midwicket off full tosses. Name me a better couple.
 
Bangladeshi batsmen just cant hit and they cant play defensively in tests as well and both of these traits perfectly depict their struggles in Tests and T20s.

In today's match there wasnt even much hitting required at the end and they just couldnt do it. Although it has to be said that Bangladesh does bat the first 30 40 overs of ODIs pretty well usually but that is not going to be enough in tournaments or overseas series.
 
Shimron Hetmyer ton sets up Windies win in last-over thriller

A century from Shimron Hetmyer and a fantastic final over from Jason Holder sealed the Windies’ thrilling three-run win that drew them level 1-1 in the one-day internationals against Bangladesh.

Hetmyer’s second ODI hundred propped up the Windies total of 271 at Guyana late on Wednesday, 25 July. Fifties from Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim meant Bangladesh were on course, until defending eight in the final over, when Holder stayed calm.

With dew making the ball difficult to grip, Holder conceded 13 in his penultimate over, the 48th of the Bangladesh innings. But young Keemo Paul took a wicket in his last ball of the 49th, and Holder returned to have Rahim, the set batsman, caught off a full toss.

He then gave away just four runs in his next five balls to complete a dramatic victory.

Bangladesh had raced off the blocks, with Anamul Haque’s blistering 23 off nine balls dominating the opening stand of 32.

Once he was done in by a slower delivery from Alzarri Joseph in the third over, the pair of Iqbal and Hasan kept it going, bringing up the team 100 in the 15th over.

The Windies had little to celebrate till the 25th, when they finally succeeded in breaking the second-wicket stand at 97. Iqbal, who made a hundred in the first ODI, danced down the wicket to Devendra Bishoo, missed, and was stumped for 54.

Hasan earned a reprieve when an lbw decision off Bishoo was reversed, but couldn’t capitalise, caught by Keemo Paul off Ashley Nurse for 56.

With the run-rate creeping above 7 an over, Rahim and Mahmudullah dug in to add a steady 87. However, at a crucial juncture in the chase, miscommunication in the middle resulted in Mahmudullah being run out.

Rahim seemed set to pull off victory, getting to 68 off 67 before Holder’s heroics.

Earlier, it was 21-year-old Hetmyer who had given the Windies something to bowl at, backing up his fifty in the previous match with a fighting century here.

Holder’s men got off to a cautious start, adding just 34 in the Powerplay. With none of the top order building on their starts and the going slow, the youngster’s fifth-wicket stand of 103 with Rovman Powell (44) was crucial.

The duo played out the economical Mehidy Hasan, and focused on rotating strike, lifting the hosts from a precarious 102/4.

Hetmyer, dropped by Hasan on 85, stepped it up towards the end, even as he lost Powell, who was bowled by Rubel Hussein (3/61).

The youngster struck three fours and seven sixes in his 93-ball 125. He was the last man out, but not before dominating the last-wicket stand of 29, where his partner made just one run. In the end, those were the runs that made all the difference.

They got 40 off the last 2 overs on Sunday.
 
Hahahahahha don.t see bd winning anything big in icc events they are worse choker than SA
 
Only 5 posts when BD were in cruise control...all the rabid hates popped out only after the final ball! Ya'll need help!

Err......No one hates BD. Why do you guys have such a victim mentality is beyond me :facepalm: THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY AGAINST BD OR ITS FANS!!
 
Bangladesh is the worst choker. I am just tired if it.It was beyond my imagination that Bangladesh will lose and can't take 8 runs in last over with 5 wickets in hand!!!!Bangladesh should take a break for a year.
 
What a shambolic display from our mediocre bunch. Continuously bringing shame to our country. Can't believe that even in this era of cricket where 300 has become a par score, our clueless bunch can't get past 270 against a second string West indies side. What can be more shameful than that.


If BCB had any shame, It would've already kicked all the useless seniors out of the team and started building a new team ahead of upcoming worldcup.
 
Very poor from BD. Yet another high class choke. 14 from 2 overs with 6 wickets in hand and they failed.

Also bear in mind, this is far from a full strength Windies team.

Narine
The 2 Bravos.
Roach
Gabriel
Brathwaite
Samuel
Lendol symonds? (Spelling)

Some of the above have not been selected on merit. However , I think several of these would improve the WI odi team. Sadly, I can’t think of any BD players that would improve their team - it was at full strength.

Yes, because Bangladesh were in cruise control for all the match. Needed 12 off 11 balls with 6 wickets in hand - yet they failed.

I just realized. 43rd over a 4 by Mushfiq was given as a dot ball because it was orignally given out lbw, but Mushy reviewed which revealed an inside edge and the ball went to the boundary. So another 4 runs means Bangladesh would have been on 272-6 and should have won the game.

Silly rule for cricket, IMO.
