Commentary

Right then, that is all we have from this match and we bid adieu to Dominica. There is one more match left in the three-match T20I series and with the first match being washed out, there's still all to play for in the last game. West Indies have the lead and will look to make it 2-0, whilst Bangladesh can only manage to make it 1-1. The final game will be played on Thursday, the 7th of July in Guyana. That match will begin at 11 pm IST (5.30 pm GMT) but our build-up will begin much sooner. Do join us then. Take care and goodbye!

Nicholas Pooran, the captain of West Indies says that as a batting group they were just taking it over by over and they wanted to bat deep. Adds that they had plans to put bowlers under pressure early on as that sets the tone and they have been doing exactly that. Mentions that all the bowlers bowled well, even the spinner from Bangladesh did well on this wicket. Mentions that they have been managing workload well, and he is happy to see other players stepping up. Concludes by saying that the fans at Windsor Park are the best in the Caribbean.

Bangladesh skipper, Mahmudullah says that they didn't start well enough with the ball, allowing the opposition to gain control and Rovman Powell took the game away at the death. Adds that Shakib Al Hasan batted well but the rest of the batting wasn't up to the mark. Mentions that they need to be positive from the start and take advantage of the Powerplay but it didn't happen. Adds that sometimes a break can help you to improve but he hopes that that isn't the case for him personally.

Rovman Powell (61* off 28 balls) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his quickfire knock. He says that his plan was simple, he was trying to get himself in at first and then play the big shots. He praises Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran for the way they batted at the top. Adds that it was a really good wicket and he wishes all the T20I matches were held at this venue only for the fans. He credits his batting coach for improvement in his batting. Further says that their bowlers' execution was good, they spoke about getting wickets in the Powerplay and they did get those wickets. Concludes by thanking all the fans who came to support them.

The presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, Nicholas Pooran won the toss and opted to put runs on the board which his side managed to do so. Brandon King at the top was solid and batted through for a long time, allowing others to play the big shots. It was really the blistering knock of Rovman Powell and a few lusty blows from the lower middle order that propelled West Indies to a big score of 193. For Bangladesh, Mahedi Hasan was tidy with the ball and Shoriful Islam showed good skills at the death but that was it. Chasing a daunting target, the visitors never really were able to get a hold of the game and they had mostly themselves to blame. The Windies put in a complete performance and took the win and the lead in the series as well. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

Bangladesh will not be pleased with that batting display. The top-order just doesn't seem to take responsibility for setting the tone whether it be a Test match or a T20I match. Three early wickets fell and there was some resistance from Shakib Al Hasan and Afif Hossain before the latter threw away the good start. Shakib stayed on till the end and having scored a half-century, went berserk as well but it was a little too late. The visitors will rue the middle phase where they couldn't get the boundaries and were blown out of the competition with more than a few overs to spare. A lot to ponder upon then for the visitors.

West Indies had the runs on the board and just needed a couple of wickets inside the Powerplay. They achieved that target and then some, leaving the opposition reeling. Obed McCoy was the star with the ball early on and then in the middle overs, the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Hayden Walsh kept the scoring rate in check. The hosts picked up a few timely wickets as well and always seemed in control of proceedings in the middle. They will however look to improve at the death as the pacers did get peppered a bit with the game already in the bag.

A huge roar from the crowd at Windsor Park in Roseau as West Indies stroll to victory here and have now taken an unassailable 1-0 lead in the series with just one more game remaining. Just like in the Test series, the hosts have completely dominated the opposition to notch up a well-deserved win.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Litton Das and Anamul Haque will open the batting for Bangladesh! Akeal Hosein will begin with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! West Indies have put up a good total on the board. But this wicket is assisting the batters and Bangladesh will be hoping they can chase this one down. Also, there is good news! The covers are coming off and we should start on time. Stay tuned for the second essay!

Brandon King says that they started well and then Rovman Powell finished off things really well. Adds that the talk with the skipper was just to keep it ticking along and they batted well together. Mentions that the surface is very good and the ball is coming onto the bat pretty good. Adds that the bowlers will have to use the variations and reckons they can defend the total.

Nicholas Pooran would be happy after winning the toss! His team has certainly justified his decision to bat first. Brandon King and Rovman Powell were the main architects of setting a target of 194 runs! Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran helped their side recover well after the early hiccups, and Rovman Powell finished the innings off in style. He scored 61 runs off 28 balls and guided West Indies to a huge total. They would feel they have enough runs on the board and seeing their bowling show in the precious game, they could fancy their chances of winning the game.

Bangladesh began proceedings by leaking runs in their first over but they fought back well by picking up wickets in quick succession and put West Indies on the back foot slightly. Post that, the momentum shifted towards the home side. Pooran and King started scoring runs freely and took control of the innings. They did manage to grab the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King but had no answers to the hard-hitting skills displayed by Rovman Powell. Once he was at the crease, all their bowlers were taken to the cleaners! Bangladesh do face a tough task, but they have enough quality to chase this one down. Onto the batters now!

An innings filled with entertainment! The fans at Dominica were disappointed after not being able to witness a full game in the first T20I, but they have been treated with some exuberant power-hitting skills in this game. Powell has powered West Indies to a healthy total here! Also, there is a slight drizzle as the players walk off for the interval. For the moment, the groundstaff are out with the covers.

SIX! BOOM! What a way to end the innings! Shoriful Islam misses his mark and delivers it in the slot. Rovman Powell clears the front leg and just smashes the ball way, way over the mid-wicket fence for a huge hit. West Indies finish at 193/5!

19.51

Mistimed but safe! Full, around off, Smith slices this one over wide mid off and races back for the second.

19.36

No ball! Cardinal sin this from Mustafizur Rahman and it has been a pretty wayward over from him. Nails the yorker on the pads, Powell flicks it towards mid-wicket for one. The Fizz though has overstepped and a Free-Hit will now follow.

18.51

Another valiant effort from Litton Das but Romario Shepherd survives. This is pitched up on middle stump, Shepherd clears the front leg to go downtown but mistimes it badly.

18.41

18.41wd

WIDE! Continues his search for the yorker at the pads but once again spills it down the leg side.

18.32

Just a bit of yes and no out there in the middle but no harm is done. Full and on the pads, this is flicked away towards deep mid-wicket. Powell wants two and they do go for it in the end. The fielding in the deep is a bit sloppy and the batters make it home safely.

18.20

Excellent delivery! Banged in short and on leg stump, this is at a good height, just over the batter's shoulders. Powell decides not to take it on and lets it through.

18.21wd

WIDE! Mustafizur Rahman tries to bowl it full and at the pads but drifts down the leg side yet agin. Wide called.

18.21wd

WIDE! This is a bit shorter and way down the leg side, wided.

18.10

No wide given! Rovman Powell stands outside the leg stump and Mustafizur Rahman tries to bowl full and at the pads. Powell leaves the ball alone but it might have flicked the pad on its way to the keeper.

Fuller and on the pads, slower too. Powell nudges it leg side for a run.

Excellent over so far from Shoriful Islam! Slower bumper this time, over middle and leg. Rovman Powell tries to take it on but is undone by the lack of pace.

17.41

Full and wide again, played towards cover for a quick single.

17.30

No review taken! Full and well wide, slanted across the batter. Romario Shepherd tries to reach it but can't. Nurul Hasan collects the ball and goes up with the bowler too being interested. Mahmudullah opts not to review it and the replay confirms that he is correct as the bat hit the ground and not the ball.

17.21

FIFTY for Rovman Powell and what a blistering innings this has been so far! Full and around off, driven towards long off for a single. Powell will now look to finish off the innings in style.

OUT! TAKEN! Catastrophic for Bangladesh as the skipper throws it away! This is pitched up, outside off. Mahmudullah advances and tries to thump it over mid off. Mahmudullah hits it firmly but doesn't get the elevation. Probably the tallest man on the field, Obed McCoy jumps up a bit to his right and snatches it.

Much better from Smith. Back of a length, much closer to the off pole, This is punched off the back foot towards cover.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Litton Das and Anamul Haque will open the batting for Bangladesh! Akeal Hosein will begin with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! West Indies have put up a good total on the board. But this wicket is assisting the batters and Bangladesh will be hoping they can chase this one down. Also, there is good news! The covers are coming off and we should start on time. Stay tuned for the second essay!

Brandon King says that they started well and then Rovman Powell finished off things really well. Adds that the talk with the skipper was just to keep it ticking along and they batted well together. Mentions that the surface is very good and the ball is coming onto the bat pretty good. Adds that the bowlers will have to use the variations and reckons they can defend the total.

Nicholas Pooran would be happy after winning the toss! His team has certainly justified his decision to bat first. Brandon King and Rovman Powell were the main architects of setting a target of 194 runs! Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran helped their side recover well after the early hiccups, and Rovman Powell finished the innings off in style. He scored 61 runs off 28 balls and guided West Indies to a huge total. They would feel they have enough runs on the board and seeing their bowling show in the precious game, they could fancy their chances of winning the game.

Bangladesh began proceedings by leaking runs in their first over but they fought back well by picking up wickets in quick succession and put West Indies on the back foot slightly. Post that, the momentum shifted towards the home side. Pooran and King started scoring runs freely and took control of the innings. They did manage to grab the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King but had no answers to the hard-hitting skills displayed by Rovman Powell. Once he was at the crease, all their bowlers were taken to the cleaners! Bangladesh do face a tough task, but they have enough quality to chase this one down. Onto the batters now!

An innings filled with entertainment! The fans at Dominica were disappointed after not being able to witness a full game in the first T20I, but they have been treated with some exuberant power-hitting skills in this game. Powell has powered West Indies to a healthy total here! Also, there is a slight drizzle as the players walk off for the interval. For the moment, the groundstaff are out with the covers.

No ball! Cardinal sin this from Mustafizur Rahman and it has been a pretty wayward over from him. Nails the yorker on the pads, Powell flicks it towards mid-wicket for one. The Fizz though has overstepped and a Free-Hit will now follow.

18.51

Another valiant effort from Litton Das but Romario Shepherd survives. This is pitched up on middle stump, Shepherd clears the front leg to go downtown but mistimes it badly.

18.32

Just a bit of yes and no out there in the middle but no harm is done. Full and on the pads, this is flicked away towards deep mid-wicket. Powell wants two and they do go for it in the end. The fielding in the deep is a bit sloppy and the batters make it home safely.

Mentions that he has played in India before, and he is kind of used to bowling with a wet ball. Concludes by saying that he loved the crowd at Dominica, he feels it makes the atmosphere more electric.

Pitch Report - Daren Ganga is pitchside. He mentions that the good news is that the sun is out today. Mentions that the pitch is hard and there will be extra bounce and the key for the bowlers will be going pace on and pace off. Adds that the batters will have a field day and the team winning the toss will look to bat first.

Mahmudullah the skipper of Bangladesh says that they are comfortable with bowling first, the wicket looks good and they will look forward to restricting West Indies to a decent total. Adds that in the previous game they had a good start but failed to capitalize on that in the middle over but it's a new day and they want to put on a better show. Informs that they have made two changes.

Nicholas Pooran the captain of West Indies says they will have a bat first. Mentions that the wicket looks really good and the sun is out today as well. Adds that from a bowling point of view they would like to assess the conditions fast just like in the last game and he is happy with the bowling. Informs that unfortunately Devon Thomas has a niggle and he will be replaced by Keemo Paul.
