Soumya Sarkar and Saif Hassan put on a show in the opening partnership in Bangladesh’s third ODI against West Indies at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Thursday.

The Mirpur pitch -- resembling a puzzle board with uneven bounce, variable pace and turn from both ends -- has reduced the contest to a battle of spin and survival.

Rishad Hossain gave Bangladesh their first breakthrough in the 12th over as the West Indies have reached 51-1 chasing 208 in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.

The West Indies have announced their squads for this month's white-ball tour of Bangladesh.

Years of dedication and hard work has reaped the fruits of performance for Jaker Ali in the just-concluded West Indies tour where the wicketkeeper-batter impressed with the willow in all three formats, playing a key role in Bangladesh completing a 3-0 sweep over the hosts in the T20I series yesterday.

A career-best 72 not out off 41 balls from Jaker Ali catapulted Bangladesh to a commanding 80-run win over West Indies in the third and final T20I in St Vincent yesterday, a victory that confirmed the Tiger’s maiden 3-0 clean-sweep over the Caribbean side in the shortest format.

After defeating West Indies by seven runs in a nail-biting first T20I yesterday, Bangladesh now stand with a chance of winning their first T20I series over the Caribbean side in over six years when both teams face off in the second game of the three-match series on Wednesday.

Mahedi Hasan's career-best bowling performance and some sharp bowling in the death overs earned Bangladesh a seven-run win over West Indies in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent today.
