A 35-ball 60 from Rovman Powell was not enough to propel West Indies to victory, as Mahedi Hasan's all-round effort and a superb final over by Hasan Mahmud took Bangladesh to a seven-run win in the 1st T20I at Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent on Monday, December 16. (More Cricket News)
An unbeaten 24-ball 26 from Mahedi Hasan had lifted the visitors to a 147-run total in 20 overs. In response, the Windies recovered from a precarious 38 for five, with Powell leading the way, but eventually fell short as Hasan Mahmud dismissed both Powell and Alzarri Joseph in the last over of the match, conceding just two runs of the 10 needed.
With the nail-biting win, Bangladesh now lead the three-match series 1-0. Catch the highlights from the first WI vs BAN T20I, right here.
