BAN vs WI (3rd T20I) – Highlights
The West Indies completed a commanding 3-0 series sweep over Bangladesh in the third T20I at Chattogram on October 31, 2025, securing a five-wicket win with 19 balls to spare. Chasing a target of 152, the visitors showcased a clinical batting performance, backed by incisive bowling and fielding, to wrap up the series in emphatic fashion. The victory further highlighted the gap in finishing ability and composure under pressure that Bangladesh continues to struggle with in the shortest format.
BAN elected to bat first under the lights and were buoyed by a scintillating innings from Tanzid Hasan. The young batter produced an explosive 89 off just 62 deliveries, striking nine boundaries and four sixes at a strike rate of 143.54. His innings, however, lacked sustained support from the rest of the batting order. Parvez Hossain Emon got off to a modest start with nine runs, while Litton Das and Rishad Hossain failed to capitalize, adding only 6 and 3, respectively. Saif Hassan provided some stability with 23 runs, but Bangladesh’s innings ultimately lost momentum after his dismissal. Taskin Ahmed’s late cameo of nine off four balls added some urgency, yet the team’s total of 151 for 10 felt below par, given Tanzid’s heroics.
BAN’s bowling attack, led by Rishad Hossain and Nasum Ahmed, tried to impose pressure in the early stages of the West Indies innings. Rishad produced a remarkable spell, taking three crucial wickets while conceding 43 runs, including the scalps of Amir Jangoo, Roston Chase, and Ackeem Auguste. Nasum Ahmed also contributed with an important breakthrough, dismissing Brandon King cheaply. Despite these efforts, the West Indies’ batting depth proved decisive.
WI chase was anchored by a masterful partnership between Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste. Chase’s 50 off 29 balls combined elegance with aggression, and Auguste’s blistering 50 from 25 deliveries turned the match firmly in the visitors’ favor. Amir Jangoo set the tone with 34 from 23 deliveries, and Brandon King contributed with a quickfire 8. The West Indies reached 152 for 5 in 16.5 overs, cruising past the target with nearly four overs remaining. Rovman Powell and Gudakesh Motie remained unbeaten, adding finishing touches to the innings, while the team’s superior strike rate underlined their dominance.
Bangladesh’s bowlers struggled to maintain control at crucial junctures, with Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam leaking runs, while Romario Shepherd and Khary Pierre bowled tightly at the death. West Indies’ bowling earlier in the innings had kept Bangladesh’s run rate in check, but a lack of consistent partnerships hindered the hosts’ scoring capacity.
Tanzid Hasan was undoubtedly the standout for Bangladesh, but the lack of contribution from the middle order meant their total was below a competitive benchmark. For the WI, Roston Chase, Ackeem Auguste, and Amir Jangoo were the architects of victory, showcasing calmness and power hitting that overwhelmed the home side. This series whitewash not only highlights West Indies’ resurgence in T20 cricket but also raises questions for Bangladesh’s strategy and adaptability in high-pressure games.
