Jayden Seales and Brandon King helped the West Indies secure a series victory against Bangladesh, marking their first bilateral ODI series win over them in a decade. The match concluded with a decisive 7-wicket victory, with Seales delivering his career-best performance of 4 for 22. His crucial early strikes reduced Bangladesh to 64 for 4 within 11 overs, restricting them to a total of 227 runs.
Opting to bowl first in St. Kitts, the West Indies proved their decision-wise as Seales dismissed both Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das early, as well as Bangladesh's captain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Tanzid Hasan attempted a counterattack, scoring 46 runs with four boundaries and two sixes before being dismissed. Following a brief recovery led by Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain, Gudakesh Motie brought Bangladesh further down by taking two wickets in quick succession.
Later, Mahmudullah and Tanzim Hasan Sakib formed a resilient partnership, contributing 92 runs for the eighth wicket, with Mahmudullah reaching a fifty. Ultimately, Bangladesh was all out for 227 in the 46th over. In response, the West Indies opened their innings strongly with a 109-run partnership between King and Evin Lewis. King played a pivotal role, and despite Lewis's struggle at the start, he found his rhythm, hitting several boundaries. Despite some excitement along the way, Sherfane Rutherford’s aggressive batting finished the chase comfortably with seven wickets in hand and over 13 overs remaining.
Brief scores: Bangladesh 227 in 45.5 overs (Mahmudullah 62; Jayden Seales 4-22, Gudakesh Motie 2-36) lost to West Indies 230/3 in 36.5 overs (Brandon King 82, Evin Lewis 49, Keacy Carty 45) by 7 wickets
