Taijul Islam shined with his first-ever five-wicket haul in ODIs to inspire Bangladesh to a four-wicket win over West Indies in the 3rd ODI in Guyana. With that, ♚Bangladesh whitewashed the Caribbeans in the three-match ODI series.
After Bangladesh opted to field in the third and 🍸final ODI, their bowlers again dominated the opponents to a below-par score. Taijul picked up a brilliant five-wicket haul for just 28 runs in his quota of 10 overs, including a couple of maidens.
Though captain Nicholas Pooran led from the front and top-scored with a remarkable 73 off 109 deliveries, he didn’t get enough support from other batters as West Indies were bundled out for a mere 178.
.
In response, the tourists lost Najmul Hossain Shanto early, but captain Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das formed a 50-run stand for the second wicket.
Gudakesh Motie was impressive with his career-best figures of 4/23 as he reduced Bangladesh to 116/5 at one stage. Before the hosts could capitalise further, Mahmudullah and Nurul Hasan added 31 runs for the sixth wicket to keep Bangladesh in the game. Nurul and Mehidy Hasan ev♚entually took the visitors home with scores of an unbeaten 32 and 16, respectively.
“Very fortunate to get an opportunity today, I have been working very hard. Very glad that I made full use of the opportunity. No, there wasn’t any additional pressure. I just stuck to my basics and that clicked for me,” said Taijul after the match.
