Bangladesh lose to West Indies in Super Over

West Indies prevailed over Bangladesh in the Super Over, beating the home side in Dhaka by one run. Akeal Hosein delivered an imperfect final over in extra time, defending ten runs, but he kept Bangladesh in check with several dots mixed with wides and no-balls. Saif Hassan, Soumya Sarkar and Najmul Hossain Shanto couldn't do the job for Bangladesh and the series is now 1-1.

West Indies had earlier scored ten runs in their Super Over, with Shai Hope getting a boundary off the last ball, after Mustafizur Rahman removed Sherfane Rutherford with the second ball.

This was Bangladesh's first tie in 813 men's matches in international cricket. Hope had carried West Indies in the last few overs, getting the only half-century of the game. West Indies needed five runs off the 50th over to complete a chase of 214.

Saif Hassan bowled two dot balls before conceding a single. Hope got on strike and even though he only had Hosein at the other end, the No. 10 batter playing his first game on tour, he chose to take another single.

Saif punished Hope for that, bowling Hosein between his legs. Khary Pierre, the last man in, needed to get three off the final ball, but his top edge spun towards square leg. Wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan ran for the catch, but he dropped the chance. West Indies got two, triggered the Super Over and closed it out in the end.
