Bangladesh skipper, Shakib Al Hasan says after the loss in St. Kitts, they had a chat which evoked belief that they can beat the Windies. Thanks the crowd for the support they have produced and he hopes they show the same support in the next game as well. Ends by saying all the bowlers bowled really well and all-in-all, it was a complete team effort.
Man of the Match, Tamim Iqbal says that in the previous game, he got out off the first ball but the shot was on. Today he took his time and it came out good. Applauds his skipper and says that he got in, played some shots and took pressure off him, which helped him as well. Ends by saying that the pitch is amazing, he loves it and he is enjoying his first outing in Florida.
Windies captain, Carlos Brathwaite starts by saying he was pretty content with his decision as they took wickets early on and put Bangladesh under pressure in the first half. Adds that they lost the game due to the casual fielding effort which allowed the opposition to comeback in the game. Implies that they will look to finish off the contest in the next game and make most of it. Asserts that Dinesh Ramdin's dismissal was a bit questionable but these things happen in the game. Ends by saying that the team is confident and will look to get back to winning ways sooner than later.
Well, when you look at the stats, not many teams win when they lose three in the Powerplay but Fletcher and Powell's 58-run stand turned the tide in the Windies' favor. The two were going great guns before the former threw his wicket away. Shakib then along with Rahman bowled exceptionally well at the death, giving Islam 15 runs to defend of the final over. The left-arm spinner did not disappoint as he bowled a magnificent 20th over ensuring the last T20I is not a dead rubber.
Bangladesh have drawn level! An excellent collective effort by them. First it was their experienced pair of Shakib and Tamim who dug them out of the grave with a 90-run stand and then they carried the momentum onto the field and have managed to defend the target. Mustafizur, who is so highly regarded in this format, came to the fore. He struck early, not once but twice, removing the two most dangerous Windies batsmen, Russell and Lewis. Shakib then joined the party by removing Samuels, and Windies were three down in the Powerplay itself.
Nazmul Islam to Samuel Badree. That is it! BANGLADESH WIN BY 12 RUNS! Just 2 given in the last over and to top that, Islam has also taken two wickets. Brilliant by him. He fires this full again on middle, Badree hits it down to long on for an easy run.
Nazmul Islam to Keemo Paul. OUT! TIMBER! What an outstanding last over this has been from Islam. 0,1,W,0,W. Sees the batsman make room, so he fires it full on the stumps. Paul swings but misses to see his stumps get shattered. You miss I hit stuff.
Nazmul Islam to Keemo Paul. Another dot! It is surely over now. If it wasn't before. Full and on the pads, the batsman swings but gets hit on the pads.
Nazmul Islam to Ashley Nurse. OUT! High up in the air... taken! Game, set and match for Bangladesh. Islam tosses this up on middle, Ashley tries to clear mid-wicket but it does not go the distance. He holes out to Haque who dropped one earlier but takes this. The Bangladeshis are ecstatic.
Nazmul Islam to Keemo Paul. He should have done this a ball before as he hits it down to long on for a run. 14 from 4. Big hit needed, the man who can go big is now on strike.
Nazmul Islam to Keemo Paul. A dot to begin. No Paul, when you have someone striking the ball really well, you should not be swinging but giving the strike to him. Islam fires this on the pads, Paul swings but misses. A dot to begin, 15 from 5 needed.
Mustafizur Rahman to Ashley Nurse. FOUR! 16 from the over and the game is going right down to the wire. Windies are still well in it. A ball shorter in length outside off, Nurse goes for the cut but gets a bottom edge past the short third man fielder.
Mustafizur Rahman to Ashley Nurse. SIX! Nurse is not going to go down without a fight. What a shot. Full and outside off, Ashley goes down on one knee which helps him get the elevation. He lofts it over covers and the ball carries all the way.
Mustafizur Rahman to Keemo Paul. The batsman plays the pull shot. They pick up a single.
Mustafizur Rahman to Rovman Powell. OUT! Powell departs and he probably takes the hopes of the Windies of chasing this target down back with him. Rahman persists with the short ball outside off, Powell goes for the pull but gets a top edge. Rahim times his jump, gets a hand to it but fails to hang on. He does really well to keep his eyes on the ball and takes it on the second attempt.
Mustafizur Rahman to Rovman Powell. FOUR! BOOM, BOOM GOES POWELL! What a hit! Not the right length by Rahman. Too short by him. Powell says thank you so much and pulls it over square leg for a boundary. If there is one man for the Windies who can do it, it is him.
Mustafizur Rahman to Ashley Nurse. A cutter on middle, the batsman tucks it through mid-wicket and gets to the other end.
