Chinelle Henry바카라™s rapid 48 off 17 balls kept hopes alive, but the team reached the target in 10.5 overs 바카라“ just four balls too late.바카라‹
Despite the emphatic win, West Indies바카라™ net run rate fell short by a mere 0.013, allowing Bangladesh (six points) to clinch the final qualification spot alongside unbeaten Pakistan (10 points).
