Bangladesh vs West Indies
West Indies cricket team will face Bangladesh for three One Day Internationals (ODI) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), in their bilateral white-ball tour from 19-31 January. These matches will also serve as Test matches; should West Indies perform strongly enough, their performance could help secure them a spot at World Cup later in 2019.
The opening match of the series took place at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts. Although Bangladeshi batsmen had an uneven start and managed to post 253 for 7 in total, their bowlers managed to pick off several key wickets mid-overs to prevent collapse and secure a 77-run victory for themselves – Taskin Ahmed being particularly effective with three wickets to limit damage done by West Indies batters.
Bangladesh gained momentum in their second match by picking up early wickets and building an 86 for 4 score within 15 overs. While losing more wickets midway through, West Indies managed to recover thanks to Keacy Carty and Amir Jangoo’s partnership: Carty nearly scoring his maiden century while Jangoo showed outstanding composure to guide their side to victory.
On December 17 at Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, both teams are expected to participate in an exciting contest that promises fireworks. If either team wins their respective matchup, it will even up the series 1-1 before setting up an inconclusive third matchup in Florida.
1st ODI
ODI matches feature two teams of eleven players each, with the winning captain of each toss deciding who bats first and for how long. In contrast to Test matches which can last up to five days, an ODI match typically lasts 50 overs; batsmen must be out within this period in order to win while bowlers are allowed four fielders outside the thirty-yard circle during this period.
Bangladesh Cricket Board manages and governs their professional cricket team, the Bangladesh Tigers. A full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), Bangladesh has both Test and One Day International status with them competing in ICC Trophies competition, an ODI competition designed for non-Test playing nations.
In 1977, the One Day International (ODI) format was originally intended to give associate members experience competing internationally before moving up to full membership and the Test championship. Since then however, the ODI format has become a regular fixture on most countries’ schedules; playing as either stand-alone matches or triangular or quadrangular series; at most three ODIs can be played per country per calendar year.
2nd ODI
On February 9 at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, both teams will vie to secure victory and open an unassailable 2-0 advantage. India’s Rohit Sharma will look to rebound after an underwhelming showing in their previous ODI match; hopefully he can smash some big runs on an excellent surface.
The match will start at 1:30 pm IST with the toss taking place half an hour earlier, weather expected to be fine and both teams expected to bat first with some dew present on the wicket, which may aid the batsmen; nevertheless, bowlers have an opportunity to create trouble for batsmen through bowling tactics.
Rohit Sharma began his innings by playing cautiously, rotating strikes with Virat Kohli before gradually increasing his scoring rate and smashing ballers Nuwan Kulasekara and Ajantha Mendis around for an unbeaten 208 not out, including 12 sixes and 23 fours.
Chris Gayle also made a profound mark in this match, smashing two sixes off Thomas Mayes and Liam McCarthy to reach his double hundred in just 57 balls for his highest ODI score ever. Meanwhile, Virender Sehwag also achieved remarkable results, scoring an outstanding 200 run chase in just 140 deliveries!
He displayed all his amazing techniques – cover drives, pulls, straight drives and master square drives were just some of them – that have become synonymous with Sehwag over time – including cover drives, pulls, straight drives and master square drives – for one unforgettable knock in Cuttack that will live long in memory among its citizens.
3rd ODI
West Indies have secured an ODI series victory in Ireland after taking down their final match by 197 runs in Dublin’s third and final ODI, featuring Keacy Carty scoring 170 runs off only 142 balls! Ireland were reduced to 231-6 after rain delay, yet never in contention as West Indies reached their target with four wickets left standing – marking their first whitewash over any Test-playing nation since March 2021!
The Windies struggled early on in their innings, losing three wickets within five overs. Sherfane Rutherford and Amir Jangoo assisted the Windies in recovering quickly; both players earned player of the match awards while Jangoo scored an amazing unbeaten century from only 83 balls, marking his maiden ODI century score.
West Indies will go into their third and final ODI against England with a 2-0 advantage, looking to finish strong ahead of their preparations for next month’s ICC Champions Trophy tournament. Rohit Sharma-led West Indies look set for another clean sweep while Jos Buttler’s England look to avoid whitewash under Brendon McCullum.
On Wednesday evening at 5:30 PM IST/01:00 PM Local Time, Warner Park in Basseterre will play host to an International Cricket Council Trophy tournament match that begins with live coverage in India by tuning into Star Sports network or Hotstar website and app respectively; those seeking online viewing options may download FanCode app or visit tournament official site as additional viewing options.
Final ODI
West Indies have won their three-match series whitewash against Bangladesh by four wickets at Warner Park. After dropping early wickets, Keacy Carty and Amir Jangoo’s crucial partnership helped regain control. Together they put on 132 runs between themselves to keep Bangladesh in contention and give them confidence; Carty eventually fell for 95 but Jangoo continued his good form, reaching three figures while Gudakesh Motie led West Indies home as they celebrated victory with gusto.
Jangoo made history, becoming the first Windies player since Desmond Haynes against England in 1978 to score a century on their ODI debut. Playing with great maturity, his innings will remain with him forever.
Windies win marked first series victory against Test-playing side in almost four years, according to West Indies skipper Shai Hope, and was an important step forward, commending newbies’ performances and feeling satisfied about how his entire team had performed.
