Bangladesh shows strength
West Indies won the toss and invited Bangladesh to bat first in the second T20I. Bangladesh got off to a very bad start. Opening pair Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar made a cheap return to the pavilion. Liton Das scored 3 points and Soumya Sarkar scored 11 points. Tanjeed Hasan can score 2 points. Bangladesh lost 3 wickets in 39 runs. Thereafter, Mehdi Hassan Milaj and Zak Ali tried to keep their feet on the crease but could not hold on for long. The process of dropping wickets continues. However, tail-end batsman Shamim Hussain managed to lead the team to a respectable score of 129 runs with an unbeaten innings of 35 runs.
West Indies batsmen disappointed
The West Indies batting looked very weak as they chased down Bangladesh’s score. Except for 3 batters, no one could touch double digits. Roston Chase scored a West Indies highest innings of 32 runs. West Indies could not even complete 20 overs, scoring just 102 runs in 18.3 overs. Just like that, the West Indies had to suffer a heavy defeat in the series.
