Bangladesh 135 for 7 (Rahim 41*, Samuels 2-14) beat West Indies 132 for 8 (Samuels 58, Shafiul 2-19, Shakib 2-25) by three wickets
Mushfiqur Rahim began his captaincy tenure with a nerveless, unbeaten 41 off 26 balls, as Bangladesh completed their first win against West Indies at home. With four required to win off the last two balls, Mushfiqur lashed Ravi Rampaul for a huge six over deep midwicket to provide the closing twist in a game that swung dramatically in front of packed stands.
Mushfiqur efforts devastated convincing all-round performance by Marlon Samuels, who did everything possible to overcome the inability of his teammates "to control conditions. Samuels struggled against a large number of mills usually sweltering Bangladesh to score half century and give your players something to defend. His teammates seams, then drop to allow Bangladesh to work easily from above, but Samuels said the windows of the two most experienced batsmen - Shakib Al Hasan and Ashraful Mohammad - in economic fortunes. Samuels, however, upset in the 13th over and the Caribbean, somewhat artificial to leave the lower half of Bangladesh for 62 of the last seven overs.
There were striking similarities in how both runs resulted. Like their colleagues in Bangladesh earlier in the day, was the West Indies fast bowlers too short with the new ball. As West Indies openers, capitalized Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes with a flurry of early boundaries established for the remains of the medium. The two queues quickly lost steam in the middle overs before stage recoveries.
Kayes looked in good touch, punching and cutting when given width, but Anthony Martin gave him the hole in the eighth addition to providing an opportunity for the West Indies. Samuels hit the ball along to sneak through the defenses Shakib arm to dismiss him for a first ball duck. Alok Kapali and gifted his wicket rookie Carlos Brathwaite, first with a blind slog to leave Bangladesh 53 for 4 in the medium term. With Mahmudullah fever resolved, the order of Bangladesh is facing an uncertain game average.
For a brief moment, Ashraful showed signs of driving home from Bangladesh, but were killed off the last ball spell Samuels. Bangladesh Mushfiqur buoyed by Martin beaten by six in 15 more, but Darren Sammy died Naeem Islam slower ball to give West Indies the edge once again. Was reduced to 20 in the last two acquisitions, and Brathwaite was presented at the 19th - banana peel on the side of the bar of the Champions League has just concluded.
Brathwaite lack of pace and emphasis on the stick to the length of delivery meant he had to keep lines of copy. He missed his field twice, and Bangladesh are the limits on both occasions. Nasir Hossain threw a ball straight to midwicket and Mushfiqur buffered range through the third man as Bangladesh plundered 14 out of the race. Rampaul failed to reject Hossain and keep things tight for four balls in the final over before Mushfiqur signed in style.
Earlier, Shakib and Abdur Razzak asphyxiated in the West Indies, where the charm typical of restrictive left arm spin, but Samuels seemed to hit a different field. Samuels was released on 3 rd and began an international tour on foot two sixes off his first three balls against the usually short Rubel Hossain. The first was a large side folding back square leg, and another amazing stroke of pick-up moves backward point. Lendl Simmons found some of the softness of her, sweeping the four Shakib before planting Razzak over midwicket boundary, but to leave his flat-footed in the Middle exposed deficiencies in the order.
Andre Russell Shakib cut in the covers, and Dwayne Bravo was Armer from Razzak and slipped up, before Darren Sammy tried to loft the ball was too full of holes and out of time-off. Danza Hyatt left turn around a shot of being trapped in front, as in the West Indies was forced into a downward spiral, but Samuels is considered counter-punching.
He settled in after the start turbo measuring conditions with a series of nudges and pushes away from the spinners, as his teammates flounder. Have moved slightly to 23 out of 18 balls, Samuels opened again with a cover drive Naeem Islam in the 12th over before driving Chakib the point, both for four. Samuels continued to disrupt lines Naeem go outside and whipped him with a spin on his third six, before repeating the dose when Chakib below. At that time he was in the final over, Samuels lifted West Indies to a respectable score, but it was not enough against the rampant Mushfiqur.
