Stay tuned for the Presentation...
It was hard on the bowlers of West Indies! They didn't have enough runs to play with and the spinners were not that tight as well. Gudakesh Motie got a breakthrough but they failed to create enough chances to ask questions. The first innings almost declared the results as the Windies batters failed miserably. Bangladesh came with three spinners and took 8 wickets overall. More than their bowling it was the Windies' batting that lacked a good effort.
The Bangladeshi batters showed that with calmness and game awareness, a foundation could've been set up but it lacked from the Windies' side. Bangladesh started with discipline and once both the openers had an eye on how the pitch is playing, they started to score runs freely. Najmul Hossain Shanto fell but Litton Das made sure there was no further damage done. The skipper showed resilience and scored a fifty in the process.
A comprehensive win for Bangladesh! It was never in doubt and more than half of their job was done by the bowlers and there were not many hiccups with the bat as well. With that, Bangladesh seal the series as they go 2-0 up with a comprehensive 9-wicket win!

A bit of halt as Gudakesh Motie gets hit on his fingers. It's on the left-hand and the physio is out to assist him. It's his bowling hand as well. The magic spray is out and we are ready to resume.

Drinks! Bangladesh need just 16 runs and it should be an easy win for them. This should be a straightforward win for them. West Indies can only hope they get a couple of wickets in an over and try and halt the results.
