Cricket has the potential to bring out all kinds of emotions in both fans and players. While unfortunate incidents are part and parcel of the game, a rare accident occurred involving two Bangladeshi batters during the third T20I against West Indies. The confusion that followed after the run-out added fuel to ????the fire and a player was called back by the umpires from the pavilion to bat once again. 

A horrendous mix-up leaves the two batters startled

The incident occurred during the 15th over of the Bangladeshi innings with Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain on the crease and Roston Chase bowling the third delivery of the over. Ali flicked the ball and charged for a quick run to come back for a second. However, Shamim was relatively slow to react as he saw wicket-keeper Nicholas Pooran collecting the ball and throwing it to Chase on the non-striker’s’ end. Clandestinely, he told Ali to stop running for the second run but by that time Ali had gone too far. Ali kept on running towards the striker’s end and managed to reach the crease. However, with no batter reaching the other end of the crease Chase hit the bails.

Thinking that Shamim’s bat had touched the ground before? him, Ali walked out of the ground furious with the run-out. However a replay of the whole mix-up revealed that Shamim’s bat was in fact in mid-air by the time Ali reached the?? striker’s end. Therefore, the umpires ultimately ruled Shamim as the one run-out by Chase. Ali was called upon from the Bangladeshi dressing room to resume batting.

Fate saved Ali to shine against the Caribbeans 

Ali’s dismissal might have saved West Indies from a humiliating defeat in the final T20I of the three-match series. He was playing on 17 runs in 16 deliveries. However, with the lu??ck favouring him, Ali went on to score an emphatic 72-run knock off 41 balls. His contribution helped Bangladesh put a competitive total on board which the home team fai?led to chase down and ended up losing the match.

In a conclusion to the T20I series at the Arnos Vale cricket stadium in Kingstown, West Indies, Bangladesh showcased their resilience and skill, securing a convincing 80-run victory over the hosts. This match not only highlighted individual brilliance but also underscored the team spirit that defines cricket as a gentleman’s game.

Jaker Ali revives Bangladesh from a slump

Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh started with promise as openers Litton Das and Parvez Hossain Emon set a brisk pace. Their aggressive batting suggested a formidable total was on the horizon. However, the West Indie??s quickly turned the tide by taking crucial wickets, leaving Bangladesh in a pre??carious position at 114/6 in the 15th over. The situation appeared dire, with the team struggling to post a competitive score on what was deemed a batting-friendly surface.

Enter Jaker Ali, whose remarkable innings of 72 not out off just 41 balls transformed Bangladesh’s fortunes. His innings was characterized by powerful strokes and strategic shot selection, allowing him to anchor the innings during a critical phase. Ali’s performance not only salvaged Bangladesh’s innings but also propelled them to a respectable total of 189 runs, setting the stage for their bowlers to defend.

Ali shows great sportsmanship after Obed McCoy’s injury during the game

Amidst the high-pressure environment of international cricket, Ali displayed an exemplary act of sportsmanship that resonated with fans and players alike. During the 14th over, Ali hit a short delivery from Gudakesh Motie towards deep mid-wicket where West Indian fielder Obed McCoy attempted a challenging ??catch. Unfortunately, McC??oy landed awkwardly and sustained an injury.

Despite having an opportunity for additional runs, Ali noticed McCoy on the ground and sign?alled to his partner to refrain from taking a run. This gesture of concern for an opponent’s well-being exemplified the spirit of cricket that transcends competition. Commentators and cricket enthusiasts praised Ali for this act, reinforcing the notion that respect for fellow players is paramount in sports.

Bangladesh register a clean sweep over West Indies

The third T20I not only marked an individual milestone for Ali but also culminated in a historic series sweep for Bangl?adesh, who won all three matches against West Indies. This victory is particularly significant given that Bangladesh had been clean-swept in the preceding ODI series, making their T20I performance all the more impressive.

The bowling attack led by Rishad Hossain played a pivotal role in restricting West Indies to just 109 runs in response to Bangladesh’s total. Hossain’s three wickets were instrumental in dismantling the West Indian batting lineup, showcasing Bangladesh’s depth in bowling talent.

After the West Indies dominated them in the ODI series and won all three games, Bangladesh finally got their revenge back in the T20I series. The Bangladeshi side won the final match of the series in an emphatic manner by 80 runs putting an end to the run-chase in just 16.4 overs. The entire West Indies batting line-up collapsed like a pack of cards in front of a solid bowling display from Rishad Hossain, who clinched 3 wickets for his side. Taskin Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan were also impressive with the ball and took 2 wickets each. 

Bangladesh dominated West Indies both with the bat and bowl

It was a day that went well for the Bangladeshi team from the beginning. Litton Das won the toss and elected to bat first. A solid start from the two openers provided the much needed base to put runs on the board. With conditions favouring the batters at the Arnos Vale Ground, Bangladesh managed to put together a total of 189/7 runs in their 20 overs. The highlight of Bangladesh batting effort was an unbeaten 72 run knock from Jaker Ali off 41 balls. Ali smashed 6 sixes in his emphatic innings to put Ban?gladesh in an advantageous positio?n.

 A disappointing performance from the West Indies 

The West Indies repeated similar mistakes in the final match of the series. The bowlers proved to be too costly for the team, particularly Alzarri Joseph who gave away 59 runs in his 4 overs. The complacency from the bowling side passed on to the batters as soon as Windies came out to chase the total. Soft dismissals were the story of the night for the Caribbean batting effort. It started with Johnson Charles who gave away his wicket due to a miscommunication with Rovman Powell on the striker’s end and a direct hit from Hossain. Charles was looking set, scoring 23 runs off 18 balls. Romario Shepherd too, gave away his wicket cheaply scoring 33 runs for his team. The continuous fall of wickets for the West Indies resulted in the entire squad getting all-out for just 109 runs. Ali was named Player of the match for his brilliant batting display. Hasan, who has been a constant pillar of strength for his team both with the bat and bowl, was named Player of the series.
