Report
Jaker Ali concluded with a spectacular, game-winning performance, solidifying his status as their tour’s MVP. Before Rishad Hossain helped bowl the opponents out cheaply, his undefeated 72 helped the visitors to their highest score in the West Indies, 189 for 7. After a mix-up with Shamim Hossain when he was eighteen, Jaker had walked off the pitch. However, because Shamim had put his bat within the crease after Jaker, TV umpire Zahid Bassarath declared him to be the one disqualified.
Jaker’s 41-ball knock, which included six sixes and three fours, set off a spectacular comeback. With the bat, Bangladesh got off to their best start of the series. In the first three overs, Parvez Hossain Emon, who took Soumya Sarkar’s position due to injury, targeted rookie Jayden Seales and Romario Shepherd. Litton Das then fell for 14, his first double-digit score in six innings across formats, after Parvez had hit Alzarri Joseph over wide long-on for his maiden six.
Parvez hit Joseph for his second six over long-on as he persisted in attacking the quick bowlers. However, after juggling a couple of times, Justin Greaves captured Parvez at the square-leg boundary on the following ball. Bangladesh had their strongest powerplay (54 runs) of the series because to Parvez’s 39 off 21 balls. Jaker hit Gudakesh Motie into deep midwicket at the beginning of the 14th over, when Bangladesh was 102 for 4.
As the ball leaked away from Obed McCoy, Jaker signaled to Shamim not to take the third run after he saw McCoy being hurt while attempting to make the grab. After a communication breakdown between Jaker and Shamim in the following over, Roston Chase smashed the stumps at the bowler’s end and both batsmen ended up at the striker’s. Jaker was angry at Shamim and raced through the striker’s end. When the third umpire noticed that he had really arrived at the crease before Shamim, he stormed out.
After removing his gear inside the dressing room, Jaker was pulled out to the middle by fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite to finish his innings. Jaker and Shamim were separated by a great space as they passed the barrier without glancing at one another. Mahedi Hasan was also run out in the same over, as if one spectacular run-out wasn’t enough. However, Jaker recovered swiftly in the next over and blasted his second six off Joseph, hitting him clean down the ground. After Jaker and Tanzim Hasan Sakib each hit sixes in the 18th over, McCoy gave up 20 runs.
Jaker hit him with a slog sweep, and Tanzim swung him over long-on. Jaker blasted Joseph for three sixes in the final four balls of the innings after he had gone for 25 in the final over. It ended up being the greatest 20th over in a Twenty20 International for Bangladesh. West Indies lost half of their team before reaching 50 for the third consecutive game. As in the last two games, Brandon King was taken out early by Taskin Ahmed, and Greaves was caught at long-on off Mahedi.
Nicholas Pooran and Johnson Charles hit a string of boundaries until Pooran was bowled off an inside edge for 15 and lost to Mahedi for the third time in the series. West Indies scored 45 for 3 to end the powerplay. Charles then appeared to take his time getting to the crease while finishing the single, as if Pooran’s fall wasn’t enough; Rishad’s throw took him off guard. Roston Chase had been out for a duck by Hasan Mahmud two balls before to this. With three wickets, Rishad further entered the game.
In the tenth over, the legspinner’s dipping delivery trapped Rovman Powell behind, reducing the West Indies to 60 for 6. Joseph made a straightforward catch to Hasan at extra cover in his last over, the fifteenth of the innings, while Rishad had Motie caught straight down the ground. The euphoria in the Bangladeshi camp was sparked by Tanzim and Taskin taking the final two wickets.
