Windies claim T20 series win vs Bangladesh

The West Indies cricket team clinched an unassailable 2-0 lead in their three-match T20 series against Bangladesh with a 14-run victory in the second game, held on October 29 in Chattogram. Fast bowler Romario Shepherd was awarded Player of the Match for his stellar performance, taking 3/29, as the visitors defended their total of 149/9. The Windies’ innings was anchored by half-centuries from skipper Shai Hope (55) and Alick Athanaze (52), who built a solid 105-run partnership for the second wicket. Despite a valiant effort from Bangladesh’s opener Tanzid Hasan (61), the hosts fell short, managing only 135/8 in their chase. The West Indies’ bowling attack, led by Akeal Hosein (3/22), Shepherd, and Jason Holder (2/20), proved decisive in restricting Bangladesh. The final T20 of the series is scheduled for October 31.
