MIRPUR – Captain Shai Hope and Akeal Hosein combined to lead West Indies to an unlikely, heart stopping victory over Bangladesh in the second One Day International that had to be decided by a rare Super Over.
In pursuit of 214 for a series-levelling victory after Bangladesh did well to get up to 213 for seven from their 50 overs at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, West Indies seemed down and out at 133 for seven, before Hope rescued his side with an unbeaten half-century that helped them tie the scores at 213 for nine off the last ball of their innings.
Playing in just their second ODI Super Over, the West Indies lost the wicket of Sherfane Rutherford while mustering just six runs off the first five deliveries bowled by pacer Mustafizur Rahman, until Hope picked up a fortunate boundary off the last ball to carry his side to 10 for one.
Akeal Hosein then made amends for bowling a wide and no-ball in his first two deliveries in the Super Over to restrict Bangladesh to nine for one and seal victory by one run for his side. (CMC)
