West Indies head coach Daren Sammy expressed deep disappointment following his team’s 2-1 One-Day International (ODI) series defeat to Bangladesh. The series, held at the Shere-e-Bangla Stadium in Bangladesh, highlighted the West Indies’ inability to adapt to spin-friendly conditions, culminating in a crushing 179-run loss in the final match on October 23. Chasing a formidable target of 297, the West Indies were bowled out for a mere 117 in 30.1 overs, with Akeal Hosein, batting at number ten, emerging as the top scorer with 27 runs. Bangladesh’s spin quartet—Nasum Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, and Mehidy Miraz—dominated the proceedings, collectively claiming all ten wickets. Sammy lamented his team’s lack of consistency and skill, particularly in handling spin, and acknowledged Bangladesh’s superior performance. Despite the challenging pitch conditions, Sammy refused to use them as an excuse, emphasizing the need for better mindset and temperament. Bangladesh’s openers, Soumya Sarkar and Saif Hassan, set the tone with a 176-run partnership, propelling their team to a commanding total. The teams will now shift focus to a three-match T20 series starting on October 27.
