BAN vs WI 2nd T20I Results

4:07 PM IST So, West Indies claim their second T20I series win of this calendar year, having already conquered Ireland earlier. This also marks West Indies' third consecutive T20I series win against Bangladesh in Bangladesh. They will now be eyeing to execute a clean sweep. It's been a disappointing series for Bangladesh so far. The series is gone, but there's still pride on the line. They'll be desperate to bounce back in the final game and avoid the whitewash. That wraps it up, then. The third and final T20I will be played at the same venue of Chattogram on Friday, 31st October, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 12 pm GMT. Do join us for all the pre-match analysis an hour earlier. But until then, it is goodbye, only to meet again. Take care, cheers!

3:59 PM IST The victorious captain of West Indies, Shai Hope, says that they mentioned at the halfway stage that they could get anything near 190, but they fell away. Adds that they still believed they could defend the target and the bowlers did extremely well. Mentions that they did not do themselves any favours with the dropped catches but in the end, they got over the line and that is what matters. Says that he is very happy with the series win, and they will try to make it 3-0 and go on a high to New Zealand.

3:59 PM IST West Indies' Romario Shepherd bags the PLAYER OF THE MATCH award for his exceptional bowling spell. He starts by acknowledging how tough it was to score freely at the death and stresses they needed a strong start with the ball. He praises Holder and Seales for doing exactly that in the Powerplay, hitting the right areas consistently. Shepherd points out that defending a modest total like this left zero margin for error. He owns up to their poor day in the field but says they quickly put it behind them and stayed focused on their plans. With a cheeky grin, he reckons the fielding coach will be fuming, especially after how sharp they were in the previous match.

3:56 PM IST The captain of Bangladesh, Litton Das, reflects on the defeat. He says that the last 2-3 series, the bowlers have done really well and he feels sorry for them as they couldn't get the job done. Adds that 150 is not a big score, especially here in Chattogram but whenever the batters got stuck, they gave their wickets away. Mentions that they need to improve on that and he himself also needs to do well, as he thinks if he batted till the 12th-13th overs, the game could have finished earlier. Says that West Indies didn't field like the way they did in the first game, where they took excellent catches, but it matters little as they failed to achieve the target. Ends by saying that he is still looking forward to the last game and wants to finish on a high note for the home crowd.

3:54 PM IST Earlier in the game, West Indies chose to bat first under Chattogram's humid weather. What looked certain to be a 200-plus total turned into a horror show. The tourists stormed to 94/1 in the first ten overs, with Shai Hope and Alick Athanze putting on a destructive 105-run partnership, both scoring their respective fifties. Then came the collapse. Reckless shot selection and strangling bowling flipped the script completely. From a commanding 106/1, West Indies crashed to 149/9, with every big name failing when it mattered. They only managed 55 runs in the final ten overs, losing eight wickets. Nasum Ahmed sparked the meltdown with crucial breakthroughs after getting hammered early, but Mustafizur Rahman was the real executioner, producing another masterclass with a deadly 3-wicket haul. What should've been a dominant score ended up way below par.
