Bangladesh's batting innings got off to a shaky start, and they struggled to gain momentum. Despite scoring freely in the Power Play, they lost wickets at regular intervals, which hindered their progress. Tanzid Hasan narrowly missed out on a half-century. Mahmudullah's valuable contribution down the order helped Bangladesh post a respectable total, giving their bowlers a chance to level the series. Tanzim Hasan also chipped in with a crucial knock. The West Indies bowlers were exceptional, with Jayden Seales striking thrice early on and four times in total to put Bangladesh on the back foot. Gudakesh Motie also claimed two wickets, helping to restrict Bangladesh's scoring.
Bangladesh's bowling performance was underwhelming, as they struggled to contain the West Indies batsmen. The bowlers failed to make a significant impact, leaking runs freely and being punished by the Windies' aggressive batting. The only bright spots in an otherwise dismal bowling display were Nahid Rana, Rishad Hossain, and Afif Hossain, who each managed to claim a solitary wicket.
West Indies dominated the chase from the outset, never allowing their opponents to gain a foothold in the contest. A blistering opening partnership of over 100 runs between Brandon King and Evin Lewis set the tone for a comprehensive victory. The middle order, comprising Keacy Carty, Shai Hope, and Sherfane Rutherford, ensured a smooth sail to the finish line. Brandon King top-scored with a solid 82, guiding his team to a convincing win.
West Indies have won this contest by 7 wickets and they now sealed the series with a game to spare.
