Commentary

What an exhilarating game we've witnessed today! Thanks for joining us. This is Meeth Agrawal signing off, alongside my co-commentator Bidipto Datta. We'll see you all on the 17th for the second T20I.

Litton Das (Bangladesh captain): We have played here before. When I saw the wicket first, it didn't behave like before. It seemed a good batting wicket. But when we batted, 150-160 looked like a good score. I just backed my bowlers to defend the total. I want my players to have the identity of playing aggressive cricket. We are playing good cricket at the moment. It has been a really long tour and winning today was a big boost for everyone. We need another win and we have to play well to win it.

Rovman Powell (West Indies captain): I think it's a matter of us assessing a bit earlier. We lost wickets in a cluster today. I am just trying to be consistent and take the responsibility to lead from the front. Death bowling has always been a struggle for us but our batters let us down today. (On Romario Shepherd coming down to bat) We wanted to have a left-right combination against the leg spinner. Hopefully, Shepherd will get more opportunity in future to bat. We will need to sit and have honest conversations as we have seemed to lost our way in T20 cricket a little bit.

Mahedi Hasan (Player of the Match, 26* off 24 balls and 4/13 in 4 overs): I am happy that we have been able to win today! The batting came in handy and the bowling too worked. I enjoyed bowling on this surface. There was a bit in it for the spinners.

Time for the post-match presentation!

Bangladesh win by 7 runs!

Soumya Sarkar - 43 (32) | Mahedi Hasan - 4/13
Rovman Powell - 60 (35) | Akeal Hosein - 2/13

What a win for Bangladesh! They’ve pulled off a victory for the ages, breaking their six-match losing streak in T20Is. Defending 20 off the last 18 balls was no easy feat, but the Bangladesh pacers kept their cool when it mattered most.

Rovman Powell, though, deserves a special mention. What an effort from the West Indies skipper! He single-handedly brought his team back into the game with a sensational display of power hitting. From nowhere, he almost turned the tide in favor of the Windies. But in the end, it was Bangladesh's discipline and the bowlers' ability to execute under pressure that proved decisive.

While their total of 147 initially seemed below par, Soumya Sarkar’s gritty 43 and late flurries from Shamim Hossain and Mahedi Hasan gave them something to bowl at. And when the West Indies came to bat, it seemed like it was all going according to plan for Bangladesh, as Mahedi Hasan ripped through the West Indies top order, finishing with career best figures of 4/13.

At 61/7, the Windies were on the brink of collapse. But never count out the captain, Rovman Powell. He staged a stunning recovery alongside Romario Shepherd, adding a vital 67-run partnership for the 8th wicket. Powell, with his powerful hitting, almost turned the tide in the Windies' favor, but Taskin Ahmed’s timely breakthrough in the 18th over was a game-changer. From there, Hasan Mahmud kept his cool in the final over, defending 10 runs to seal a famous win for Bangladesh.

The visitors now go 1-0 up in the series! Coming up are the presentations...

19.5 Hasan Mahmud to Alzarri Joseph, HASAN FINISHES IT OFF WITH A LOT OF COMPOSURE! BANGLADESH WIN! Good length in-ducker on off-and-middle. Joseph went for the big heave over wide mid-on but failed to make contact. And that meant only one thing! The ball going through the defenses and smashing the stumps!

Alzarri Joseph b Hasan Mahmud 9 (11b, 1x4, 0x6)

19.4 Hasan Mahmud to Obed McCoy, round the wicket, good length slower ball around off-stump. McCoy misses it completely but Litton fails to gather it too! And the batters take a bye!

Can McCoy pull off a win in front of his home crowd?

Obed McCoy (LHB), the last man for the West Indies, comes to the crease

19.3 Hasan Mahmud to Rovman Powell, GOT HIM! HASAN STRIKES! Full and wide outside off-stump again. Rovman Powell chases it by going across but ends up nicking it through to Litton Das. The Bangladesh captain was not going to drop that!

Rovman Powell c Litton Das b Hasan Mahmud 60 (35b, 5x4, 4x6)

19.2 Hasan Mahmud to Rovman Powell, GOOD BALL HERE! Full and wide outside off-stump. Powell looks it squirt it away to third man but fails to connect. No run.

19.1 Hasan Mahmud to Alzarri Joseph, over the wicket, hard length around off-stump. Pulled away off the backfoot to long-on for a single. Over to you, Rovman!

Hasan Mahmud [3.0-0-17-0] comes back into the attack

The stage is set for a thrilling final over! 10 runs needed, and it’s Powell off strike. Anything can happen from here. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, as the equation stands at 10 off 6 balls with two wickets in hand.

It’s a do-or-die moment now for both sides. All 3 results are possible at this moment. A Windies win, a Bangladesh victory, or even a super over.

18.6 Tanzim Sakib to Alzarri Joseph, really full around off-stump. Drilled down to mid-off from the front foot for a single and this means that Joseph will keep strike!

18.5 Tanzim Sakib to Alzarri Joseph, OH! Full and slanting down leg on the pads. Joseph tries to clip it to square-leg from the crease but fails to connect. No run possible on the leg-bye.

18.4 Tanzim Sakib to Alzarri Joseph, WOW! GOOD SHOT! Back of a length around off-stump. Punched over cover on the up for a brace.

18.3 Tanzim Sakib to Alzarri Joseph, short and accurate, over middle-stump. Ducked underneath this time by Joseph. Dot ball!
