Contribution of Debutant Jangoo and Carty to the victory over BAN
In a thrilling finale, debutant Amir Jangoo emerged as the standout performer for the West Indies, who managed to complete a clean sweep in the ODI series against Bangladesh. The West Indies were initially under pressure while chasing a daunting target of 321, having stumbled to 86 for 4 by the 15th over. However, a remarkable turnaround was sparked by a powerful partnership worth 132 runs for the fifth wicket between Jangoo and fellow player Keacy Carty. Although Carty fell just short of a century, Jangoo continued his impressive form, eventually teaming up with Guadakesh Motie to secure the victory with 25 balls remaining. This chase marked the West Indies' third-highest successful pursuit in ODIs and their third consecutive win over Bangladesh, a significant achievement after having lost 11 prior matches against them.
On the other hand, Bangladesh displayed an improved batting performance, mainly driven by veteran Mahmudullah, who recorded his third half-century of the series. Alongside Mahmudullah, there were other notable contributions, including skipper Mehidy Hasan, who scored 77 runs. Following a challenging start after losing two wickets early, Bangladesh's innings steadied with a vital 136-run partnership between Mehidy and Soumya Sarkar. Later, Mahmudullah and Jaker Ali built upon this foundation, constructing a 150-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Despite their impressive efforts, the target ultimately proved too challenging for Bangladesh, leaving them without a victory in the series.
Brief Scores: Bangladesh 321/5 in 50 overs (Mahmudullah 84*, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 77, Soumya Sarkar 73, Jaker Ali 62*) lost to West Indies 325/6 in 45.5 overs (Amir Jangoo 104*, Keacy Carty 95) by 4 wickets
