Bangladesh vs West Indies, 3rd ODI at Sylhet, WI in BAN, Dec 14 2018 - Match Result
Bangladesh won by 8 wickets (with 69 balls remaining)
7.10pm That's all from us for the ODI series. Shai Hope single-handedly made it competitive, but collectively, Bangladesh were too powerful for West Indies. Can the visiting side change the script in the T20Is? Join us on December 17 to find out. Till then, this is Saurabh Somani, signing off on behalf of Hemant and Thilak.
7.04pm Rovman Powell: "Unfortunate for Oshane to miss out. We wanted an extra spinner today. Hope deserves a lot of credit. Lots of things to rectify, we have to go back to the nets and continue to work hard. We are making improvements, it's just that we are not improving at international pace." He also had words of praise for Shai Hope.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz is the Man of the Match. "I am really happy with bowling first because the wicket was turning a little. Thanks to our team-mates. Mushfiqur told Mashrafe that I should bowl when Hetmyer came in to bat, so thanks to Mushy."
Shai Hope is the Player of the Series. Well deserved. "Still a bit dizzy to be honest, but hanging in there. Yes I got a hundred, but obviously you want to win more than getting these hundreds. (On the lack of support adding pressure) Just a bit. But it's important for me to keep it flowing. One of those days."
Finally, we have winning captain Mashrafe Mortaza speaking to raucous cheers from the crowd. "All three matches bowlers have been good. The spinners especially bowled really tight. Overall it's going alright. I think we'll do well in the T20s too, but West Indies are world champions and a very good side in T20s."
6.50pm Both of Bangladesh's wins were dominant. West Indies avoided the ignominy of a sweep thanks to Shai Hope, but that's the only thing they had going for them. For my money, Hope is the Man of the Match today too, though Mehidy will probably get it for his 4-29. But Hope's was a fantastic against-the-odds innings, going completely solo. The next highest for West Indies was 19, while Hope made 108*. His strike-rate was 82.44 - that too dragged down by falling wickets - and no one else scored at more than 60 even.
cheeky length ball outside off and he just comes forward, opens the face of the bat at the last moment to run it down to third man and tie the scores
full ball outside off, he comes forward and opens the face to steer to point
Malcolm : "Despite his team getting a pasting the one player everyone will remember from this rather forgettable game is Shai Hope. If only there was an award for being an absolute boss in trying circumstances."
keeps it a bit fuller outside off, slapped to cover
same ball, same shot, better result. short outside off again, and he stays beside the ball, and cuts it uppishly. Goes all the way
too short and put away. Room outside off and he's not pacy enough to bowl it so short. Mushfiqur rocks back and cuts it over point
fuller on the stumps, and defended back to the bowler
fuller outside off, and Mushfiqur gets feet moving that time, comes forward to drive it well. But straight to cover
full outside off, given some room and he goes on his knees for a flowing cover drive. However, can't get past the fielder in the circle, who parries it
beaten again. In the channel again and Mushfiqur's bat is going like a magnet to the ball in that channel. Feet not moving. He pokes at thin air again
patted back to the bowler
inside edge goes for four well bottom edge technically. This was bowled wide of off, and Mushfiqur went hard at it, again without moving feet. Kept a little low and it takes his under-edge to go to the keeper's left. He got a glove to it, but couldn't stop it
fuller on off stump, driven to extra cover off the front foot
oooh, beaten. In the channel outside off, slightly back of a length. Mushfiqur finds himself reaching for it without moving his feet and is beaten
back of a length angling into the batsman but ends up on his pads, and his turned this to fine leg
Tahseen: "Tamim really wanted Soumya to score that century. I could hear him say "don't take a run" through the mic."
ferdous06: "it's quite difficult to score 20 runs out of 23. hope Soumo learns this lesson. fantastic innings though. "
good length on off, pushed to extra cover
slower ball, off-cutter bowled on off stump. He's equal to it though and pats it back gently to the bowler's right
back of a length outside off, he steers it to third man to get off the mark. The man had to run to his left which allowed them to take two
good length outside off, he defends off the front foot to point
leg stump goes for a walk might be too late to affect the match, but it's a victory for the bowler nonetheless. Soumya's impetuousness gets the better of him. He tried to whip a ball across the line that was too full, ends up playing all around it, and it sneaks through bat and pad to take out the stumps
