West Indies dominate Bangladesh, win series with a game to spare; King shines with 82 runs.
The West Indies won a one-day international series against Bangladesh for the first time in 10 years on Tuesday, December 11, 2024.
The West Indies shot out Bangladesh for 227 in 46 overs and strolled to 230-3 in 37 overs. The host won the series with a game to spare.
“It's great to see the bowlers bounce back the way they did,” captain Shai Hope said. “Gotta tick boxes and keep improving. We were clinical. We've been struggling to win series at home (so) hope to finish 3-0 now.”
On the same pitch where the West Indies won by five wickets on Sunday, the par score was 300. But fast bowler Jayden Seales undercut Bangladesh with three wickets in the first powerplay. Seales returned to bag Mahmudullah for 62 in the 45th over and finish with a match-deciding 4-22 in nine overs.
The chase was almost a formality. Brandon King and Evin Lewis opened with a 109-run partnership in 21 overs. King led with 82 and Lewis and Keacy Carty were out just short of half-centuries.
Bangladesh was 115-7 in the 26th over when Tanzim Hasan Sakib joined Mahmudullah and they rescued the innings.
While they were batting with increasing ambition, Bangladesh could dream of 270-280.
