Commentary

We are all set for the Super Over to begin. Sherfane Rutherford and Shai Hope walk out to bat for West Indies. Mustafizur Rahman has been handed the ball. Let's go...

... SUPER OVER, FIRST INNINGS ...

Bangladesh will be playing their first-ever Super Over in men's internationals. Pressure will be on both sides, and if you did not know, it will be the West Indies batting first, as the rule is that the chasing side in the regular contest will bat first. The hosts will have to take inspiration from that last over and restrict the Windies to as low as possible, while the visitors will hope to set up a target that they can defend on this tricky wicket. Let's see how things pan out now.

Would you believe it? We are heading to a Super Over in this 2nd ODI, and the players and coaching staff of both sides look absolutely stunned at how we have got here. Nurul Hasan looks dejected after dropping that catch, but credit must go to Saif Hassan for the way he handled pressure in that last over, giving away just four runs. Also, Shai Hope for the way he has batted did not deserve to see his side lose like this, and the Windies have a chance of redemption now.

DROPPED AND WE ARE GOING TO A SUPER OVER! Saif Hassan is down on his haunches in disappointment. Drags the length back, does Saif, on middle. Khary Pierre goes for the slog sweep again but is unable to get under the ball in a fashion he would have liked. Skies it up towards square leg, around the edge of the circle. The keeper, Nurul Hasan calls for it as he sprints to his right and dives in front but fails to cling on. The ball drops on the ground beside him and the converging Mustafizur Rahman tries to pick it up and release the throw but juggles a bit and it is enough for the batters to complete the second run. Incredible scenes in Mirpur. After 100 overs, there is nothing separating the two sides.

Khary Pierre is the last man in. Shai Hope can only watch and hope from the other end now. Pierre needs to hit a boundary or six to win the game, but if he manages a couple, it will be a tie.

49.5W

OUT! TIMBER! You miss, I hit, says Saif Hassan! Unbelievable scenes in Mirpur. This is fired in by Hassan, full in length, on the off pole. Hosein walks across, gets down on a knee and attempts the slog sweep for the third time in the over. The ball sneaks past the inside edge, brushes the front pad and goes through the legs of the batter to crash into the off pole. Hope is left stranded at the other end with the West Indies needing 3 off the final ball.

A bit of a conference between the batters now. It's nail-biting stuff here, and if the scores are level here, we will head into a Super Over.

49.41

Stays around the wicket, does Saif for the right-hander. This is pushed across, on the shorter side. Hope goes on the back foot and punches it away to deep cover for a single. 3 required off 2 for the Windies.

49.31

Quick single sneaked in! Flat and short, on off, Hosein hangs on the back foot and waits for the ball to arrive. Dabs it in front of backward point and sets off. Tanvir Islam gets rid of the ball quickly and fires in a throw towards the batting end. Nurul Hasan breaks the stumps and it is referred upstairs but the replays show that Nurul did not gather it and dislodged the bails without having the ball in his hand. 4 needed from 3 for West Indies.

49.20

And again! Another one from Saif that stays low, on a nagging length. Akeal Hosein is across his stumps and has a hack across the line but fails to connect.

49.10

Saif starts well! Akeal makes the early shuffle across the stumps but Saif holds his line and length. Fires in from around the wicket. Hosein gets down on a knee for the slog sweep but misses.

5 needed in the last over. The only bowler left who has bowled in this game is Saif Hassan. Maybe a bit of miscalculation from Mehidy Hasan Miraz to keep him for the final over. There is a big discussion going on between the Bangladesh players about who will bowl this over. Soumya Sarkar is an option, but it will be Saif Hassan. Can he defend 4 runs here?

48.51

On a short of a length, on middle. Shai stands tall and whips it to long on for a single.

48.42

FIFTY FOR HOPE! The captain has stood tall in tricky conditions but the job is not over yet and he will look to take the side over the line from here. Very full from Mustafizur Rahman, outside off. Shai gets his bat down and squeezes it away to the left of deep point for a couple of runs. 30th ODI half-century for Hope.

48.31

Fizz goes into the wicket again, outside off. Hosein slaps it wide of cover for a single.

48.31wd

Wide! Mustafizur Rahman bends his back and bangs in a bumper but it sails over the batter's head. Akeal Hosein ducks under it. A good take by the keeper, Nurul Hasan as the ball was dipping on him.

48.22

Mustafizur Rahman digs it in short, outside off. Akeal Hosein gets on his toes to flat bat it down the ground but the ball gets big on him. Slices it off the upper half of the bat and clears the man at cover. Two runs taken.

48.11

Full and going across the right-hander, Shai extends his hands into the drive and hits it to deep cover for a single.

Another off-cutter, on a good length, on middle. Hope chips it uppishly but well away from mid-wicket to his left. The batters cross for one.

46.34

FOUR! Beautifully played! Mustafizur Rahman serves the slower one, on a length, on middle. Shai Hope clears the front leg and brings his hands out in front. With a high elbow, he lofts it over mid off for a boundary.

Commentary

Welcome back for the start of West Indies' reply. The two umpires make their way out to the middle, followed by the two openers, Alick Athanaze and Brandon King. Added to the squad after the first ODI, Nasum Ahmed will open the attack for Bangladesh. Nasum to Alick with a slip in place. Here we go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, at the toss, had mentioned that 230-240 could be a very good total on this track. While Bangladesh have fallen slightly short of that mark, 213 is still a competitive total, and the Bangladeshi spinners will be a handful in these spin-friendly conditions. West Indies will need someone like Roston Chase or Shai Hope to take responsibility and anchor the chase. It promises to be an interesting second half of the game. Stay tuned!

Most of the dismissals came as a result of batters trying to break free and go for the big shots, a reflection of how well the West Indies spinners kept them in check. In fact, all 50 overs were bowled by spin, yes, you read that right, the first time in ODI cricket history that a team has bowled 50 overs of spin. Mehidy Hasan Miraz tried to take charge after Sarkar's departure, but none of the knocks were as precious as Rishad Hossain’s. On a track where most batters batted at a strike rate under 100, Hossain blasted at 278.57, scoring a 14-ball 39 that propelled his side past 200.

Tremendous finish from Bangladesh! 34 runs came off the last two overs, and that has lifted them to 213. A tale of batters getting starts but none going on to make it big. There may not be any fifties on the card, yet Bangladesh have managed to post a competitive total. Soumya Sarkar stood out among the top five, holding one end firm as wickets kept tumbling around him.

49.62

A couple of runs to end the innings! Akeal Hosein tosses it up, full and on off, Rishad Hossain looks to go big again but gets a top edge. Keacy Carty from extra covers runs towards the mid off region and long off also runs forward, but in the end, both leave it for each other. Carty puts in a dive but does not get a hand to it. Two taken. Bangladesh finish on 213/7!

49.52

Looped up, full and on middle, Rishad Hossain throws his bat at it but slices it over covers for a brace.

49.44

FOUR! Rishad Hossain is playing a blinder here! Floated, full and on middle and leg, Rishad Hossain backs away a bit and smacks it to the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary.

49.32

In the air..SAFE! Tossed up, full and on off, turns away, Rishad Hossain rocks back to loft it away but gets a top edge. It goes in the air and the fielder from extra cover runs to his left but the ball drops wide of him. Two taken.

49.20

Swing and miss! Flatter, full and around off, turns away, Rishad Hossain has a wild swing at it but misses.

49.16

SIX! It's raining sixes here in Dhaka now! Akeal Hosein drops it short and just around off, Rishad Hossain rocks back and slaps it down the ground. He just gets enough to beat the long on fielder for another biggie. 200 UP FOR BANGLADESH!

Good fielding! Short and outside off, Rishad Hossain waits for it and guides it wide of backward point, where Ackeem Auguste dives to his right to make a good one-handed stop. They cross.

46.43

BUZZERS! Flighted, full and on middle, Mehidy Hasan Miraz clips it through square leg for a couple of runs. Akeal Hosein gets to the ball and fires in a throw at the bowler's end, where Pierre fails to stop it and the backing up is also poor, which allows an extra run.

46.32

Tossed up, full and on off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz drives it through covers for a couple of runs.

46.20

Flatter, shortish and on off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz stabs it to cover-point.

Greaves responds quickly, but Mehidy Hasan Miraz is even quicker to grab the ball and fires in a throw at the batter's end, all in one motion. It is a direct hit and Bangladesh players are celebrating. The replay shows that Greaves is just short of his crease and his reaction says it all here. He walks back for 26 off 39, and the 40-run stand has been broken now. West Indies are 177/8, still needing 37 runs in 31 balls.

34.11

At 86.5 kph, this is full and on off, Shai drives it stylishly to deep cover for a single.

DRINKS! With that wicket, West Indies are in huge trouble. They still need 81 runs, but with only 3 wickets in hand. Everything depends on Shai Hope here and how he manages to play with the lower order. He needs to mix caution with aggression, but will need some support from the other end. Bangladesh will feel like they are almost there, and if they get Hope, it will be done and dusted. Also, Justin Greaves walks out to bat now.

33.6W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Bangladesh get the review right and this is a massive scalp! Drifting in from around the wicket, on the fuller side, on off. Chase reaches out in front and presents a straight bat. Plays the line of the ball and hangs his bat out well in front of his body. The ball lands and spins away before going through to the keeper. Bangladesh go up in unison but the umpire's finger stays down. Mehidy Hasan Miraz takes the review instantly and the UltraEdge shows a spike. The ball has grazed the outside edge on its way to the keeper, Nurul Hasan. A brief stay for Chase. West Indies are now 133/7, needing 81 more runs.

Is that out? There is an appeal for caught behind, but the umpire says no. However, Nurul Hasan, the keeper, looks very confident and asks Mehidy Hasan Miraz to take the review. The replay shows that it is very close to the bat, but the bat also hits the ground almost at the same time as the ball passes. UltraEdge shows a spike, and the third umpire deems that there is an outside edge. Chase looks disappointed but has to walk back now.

33.50

Full and on off, stabbed down on the off side.

33.44

Full and on off, driven firmly to deep cover for a single.

32.50

Oh, that snearly sneaked through! This stays low and straightens after pitching, short and on middle. Roston hangs back to deal with it but gets squared up. Manages to get some bat on it as the ball catches the outer half and rolls to point. Had Chase missed that, he would have been trapped right in front.

32.40

And again! This is full, on off. Roston lunges but he is not to the pitch of the ball. Hangs his bat out in front but the ball rips past the outside edge.

32.30

Throws it up outside off, and the length is dragged back. Roston Chase looks to play the line but is beaten due to the turn.

32.20

Tosses it up, full and outside off, Chase slices it to short third.

Roston Chase is the next man in.  Also, this match has created some more history.  It now holds the record for the most aggregate overs bowled by spinners in an ODI game.

32.1W

OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Rishad Hossain continues to make an impact on the game! Hossain offers flight, full and on off and middle. Motie's eyes light up as he spots the ball above his eyeline. Gets the front leg out of the way and swings through but plays down the wrong line. The ball lands and spins past the inside edge before going through the gate to rattle the stumps. Motie falls for 15 (21). Rishad has his third wicket. West Indies are now 128/6, needing 86 more runs.

Gudakesh Motie walks out to bat. The Ball Tracking for the Rutherford dismissal is in. It is umpire's call on hitting, so it would not have mattered much even if West Indies had reviews remaining.

26.3W

OUT! LBW! Tanvir Islam gets two in two overs! He bowls this a bit flatter, short and on off, turns in sharply. Sherfane Rutherford moves back to flick it across the line but goes through the shot a bit early as the ball sticks to the surface. He misses and gets hit on the front pad. There is an appeal for LBW, and the umpire raises his finger after thinking for a bit. Rutherford is not happy with the decision but he cannot do anything about it as there are no more reviews left. West Indies lose half their side now, still needing 111 more runs to win.

OUT! TAKEN! What did we just tell you? Rishad Hossain is everywhere. He scored runs, picked up wickets, and now he takes a fantastic catch as well. Tanvir Islam drops it short and around middle, turns in, not a great delivery to be honest. Ackeem Auguste rocks back to pull it away but just fails to get enough elevation. Rishad Hossain at square leg uses every inch of his height and takes a fantastic catch with the ball travelling at the speed of light at him. Auguste departs for 17 off 29. A decent debut but the Windies are four down now!

21.30

Flighted, full and on off, Shai Hope drives it firmly but straight to short covers.

Shai Hope walks in next.

21.2W

OUT! LBW! You just cannot keep Rishad Hossain out of this game. He gets his second wicket and breaks this budding 30-run stand. This is pushed through quicker, full and on middle, keeps a bit low too. Keacy Carty goes for the premeditated reverse sweep but gets into no position to play that shot and misses it to get hit on the back leg right in front of the stumps. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. Not sure why Carty is having a chat with his partner because Windies do not have any reviews left. He finally starts walking back after scoring a fine 35 off 59, and West Indies are 82/3, chasing 214.

Commentary

Welcome back for the start of West Indies' reply. The two umpires make their way out to the middle, followed by the two openers, Alick Athanaze and Brandon King. Added to the squad after the first ODI, Nasum Ahmed will open the attack for Bangladesh. Nasum to Alick with a slip in place. Here we go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, at the toss, had mentioned that 230-240 could be a very good total on this track. While Bangladesh have fallen slightly short of that mark, 213 is still a competitive total, and the Bangladeshi spinners will be a handful in these spin-friendly conditions. West Indies will need someone like Roston Chase or Shai Hope to take responsibility and anchor the chase. It promises to be an interesting second half of the game. Stay tuned!

Most of the dismissals came as a result of batters trying to break free and go for the big shots, a reflection of how well the West Indies spinners kept them in check. In fact, all 50 overs were bowled by spin, yes, you read that right, the first time in ODI cricket history that a team has bowled 50 overs of spin. Mehidy Hasan Miraz tried to take charge after Sarkar's departure, but none of the knocks were as precious as Rishad Hossain’s. On a track where most batters batted at a strike rate under 100, Hossain blasted at 278.57, scoring a 14-ball 39 that propelled his side past 200.

Tremendous finish from Bangladesh! 34 runs came off the last two overs, and that has lifted them to 213. A tale of batters getting starts but none going on to make it big. There may not be any fifties on the card, yet Bangladesh have managed to post a competitive total. Soumya Sarkar stood out among the top five, holding one end firm as wickets kept tumbling around him.

DRINKS BREAK! First, Tawhid Hridoy and now Najmul Hossain Shanto both got starts but couldn’t convert. On a wicket like this, once you are set, it’s imperative to make it count. The surface has behaved as expected. While the sharp turn hasn’t been consistent, there’s been enough grip and turn to keep the batters on their toes. From Bangladesh’s perspective, despite the setbacks, it’s important to bat positively because on a pitch like this, there’s always that one delivery with your name on it. With both frontline pacers left out for this game, it’s been all spin from West Indies so far, and Shai Hope has cleverly kept the field up, tempting the hosts into taking risks. Mahidul Islam Ankon is the new man in for Bangladesh.

17.2W

OUT! TAKEN! Would you believe it? Najmul Hossain Shanto surely can't, as he has picked the fielder out. Alick Athanaze drops it way too short and on middle, begging to be put away. Shanto rocks back and tries to pull it away but the ball arrives just a bit later than he expects. He hits it from the bottom half of the bat and the ball flies just wide of mid on, where Brandon King quickly moves to his left and takes a fine catch with a slide. Athanaze gets his MAIDEN ODI WICKET. Shanto's hands are on his head, but he has to depart for 15 off 21. Bangladesh are three down now!

17.10

Right on the money! Flatter, short and on middle, angles in and skids through, Najmul Hossain Shanto stays back and pushes it back to the bowler.

We are all set for the action to begin. A hot and humid afternoon greets the two umpires as they make their way out to the centre. Shai Hope leads his troops out to the middle.

Akeal to Saif with a slip in place. Here we go!

PITCH REPORT - Farveez Maharoof is near the surface and notes that there’s hardly a blade of grass, with this pitch looking even drier than the one used in the first game. Samuel Badree adds that it’s no surprise Bangladesh have added another spinner, while West Indies have opted to drop their two frontline pacers given the conditions. Shares that the surface has a mosaic pattern, the cracks have already started to open up, and spin is expected to play a pivotal role once again. He opines that playing late will be key on this surface and using the depth of the crease will be crucial, something Tawhid Hridoy did particularly well in the previous game, and something the West Indies batters will need to take note of.

Darren Sammy, the head coach of the West Indies, presents a maiden ODI cap to Ackeem Auguste. The left-handed batter becomes the 228th male player to represent the West Indies in ODIs.

The captain of West Indies, Shai Hope shares that they have had positive discussions on how to tackle spin in the middle phase of the game. Adds that they are looking forward to today's challenge. Believes that the surface is spin friendly but there will be help for the pacers if they can bowl in the right areas. Feels that if you are disciplined with your lines and lengths, it is difficult to score for batters on such tracks. Informs that they have made two changes with Akeal Hosein and Ackeem Auguste coming into the side with Auguste making his ODI debut.

The captain of Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan Miraz believes that 230-240 is a very good total on this surface and they could have scored 30 runs more in the last game had they batted the entire 50 overs. Praises Mahidul Islam Ankon's knock and says they didn't expect a debutant to play such fearless cricket. Mentions that the partnership between Hridoy and Ankon was the turning point after they lost early wickets. Informs they have made one change as Nasum Ahmed comes in for Taskin Ahmed.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C/WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Ackeem Auguste (On debut) (In for Romario Shepherd), Roston Chase, Justin Greaves, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Akeal Hosein (In for Jayden Seales).

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Saif Hassan, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (C), Nurul Hasan (WK), Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Nasum Ahmed (In for Taskin Ahmed), Mustafizur Rahman.

TOSS - Bangladesh have won the toss and they will BAT first.

The last three ODI series between these two sides in Bangladesh have all gone in favour of the hosts. Bangladesh will be eager to extend that streak and, in doing so, end their own drought, having lost each of their last four ODI series. Do the West Indies have it in them to mount a strong response, or will Bangladesh come out on top once again and put the series to bed? Stick around for the toss and team news.

On the other hand, the West Indies bowlers did a commendable job in restricting Bangladesh to a manageable total, but the batting unit failed to capitalise on a promising start. For the visitors to draw level in the series, experienced players like Roston Chase and captain Shai Hope will need to step up in what is expected to be another stern test against spin. Gudakesh Motie, surprisingly, went wicketless in the series opener, and the tourists will be counting on him to make a greater impact this time around. 

On a dark surface, Bangladesh’s spinners ruled the roost, with Rishad Hossain’s six-wicket haul sealing the deal in the first ODI. The inclusion of Nasum Ahmed further strengthens their spin department, and the hosts will once again rely heavily on their spin attack to make the most of conditions. Despite emerging victorious in the opener, their struggles with the bat continued. The Bangla Tigers have been bowled out in each of their last four ODI innings, something they will be desperate to rectify today.

Hello, one and all! It’s time for Game 2 of the three-match series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Bangladesh hold the advantage and will be eager to seal the series today, while the West Indies will be determined to hit back and take it to a decider. The opening encounter was an entertaining contest and here’s hoping we get another cracker of a game, perhaps even better! 

... MATCH DAY ...

The ODI series between Bangladesh and the West Indies moves to its second chapter in Mirpur. Bangladesh landed the first blow in the series and will now aim to seal it with another win, while West Indies will be eager to bounce back and take the contest to a decider. The visitors’ bowlers did their job well, bowling the hosts out for 207, but their batting faltered after a steady 51-run opening stand. Rishad Hossain made full use of the spin-friendly conditions, claiming six wickets to spin Bangladesh to victory. With similar conditions anticipated, the Windies will need greater contributions from Brandon King, Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, and skipper Shai Hope to steady their batting effort. On the bowling front, much will depend on the spin trio of Khary Pierre, Chase, and Gudakesh Motie, while Jayden Seales and Romario Shepherd will look to set the tone with the new ball. On the other hand, the Bangla Tigers left much to be desired with the bat, with their woes from the Afghanistan series continuing. Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Saif Hassan, and Soumya Sarkar will be crucial as the Asian side looks to deliver a more solid batting display than in their recent outings. Considering that the entire ODI series is being played in Mirpur, the hosts have strengthened their spin attack with the addition of left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed. Whether he features in the second ODI remains to be seen, but the home side will be banking on Rishad Hossain and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz to do the job in the spin department. Bangladesh have lost their last four ODI series but now have an opportunity to spark a revival of their 50-over campaign with a win in the second ODI. West Indies, on the other hand, will be desperate to respond and keep the series alive. Who will seize the moment in Mirpur?
