West Indies Complete Series Sweep
The West Indies cricket team delivered a commanding performance in Chattogram, sealing a clean 3-0 T20I series sweep over Bangladesh with a five-wicket victory in the final match. Powered by explosive batting and a historic bowling feat, the Caribbean side left no doubt about their dominance on the tour.
Tanzid Hasan Shines in Vain
Bangladesh’s innings was anchored by a brilliant 89 from opener Tanzid Hasan, who fought valiantly to give his team a competitive total. Despite his efforts, the hosts could only manage 152 for 9 in their 20 overs—a target that proved insufficient against the West Indies’ aggressive chase .
Chase and Auguste Seal the Deal
West Indies’ response was clinical. Openers set the tone, but it was Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste who stole the show with rapid half-centuries. Their fearless strokeplay dismantled Bangladesh’s bowling attack, guiding the visitors to victory with a whopping 19 balls to spare .
Chase, known more for his Test grit, showcased his T20 adaptability, while Auguste continued his promising rise in the shortest format—both finishing unbeaten and sharing an unbroken partnership that turned the chase into a procession .
Shepherd Makes History
While the batsmen grabbed headlines, pacer Romario Shepherd etched his name in the record books. In a stunning spell, he claimed a T20 international hat-trick—the first by a West Indian in this format .
His triple strike came across two overs: he dismissed Nurul Hasan on the final ball of the 17th over, then returned to clean up the next two batters—Shakib Al Hasan and Taskin Ahmed—on the first two deliveries of the 19th over. Initially unaware of his achievement, Shepherd began walking off before teammates rushed to inform him of the milestone .
