West Indies clinched the three-match ODI series with a dominant seven-wicket win over Bangladesh in the second ODI in Basseterre on Tuesday.

Spearheaded by Jayden Seales’ fiery 4-22 and a clinical batting display led by Brandon King’s 82, the hosts chased down the 228-run target with 79 balls to spare.

After winning the toss, West Indies opted to bowl first, and Seales delivered immediately. The pacer dismantled Bangladesh’s top order, reducing them to 54-3 within 10 overs.

Tanzid Hasan provided early resistance with a brisk 46 off 33 balls, but wickets fell regularly. Gudakesh Motie and Justin Greaves chipped in with crucial strikes, and despite a record 92-run partnership for the eighth wicket between Mahmudullah (62) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (45), Bangladesh was bundled out for 227 in 45.5 overs.

In reply, West Indies’ openers Brandon King and Evin Lewis laid a solid foundation with a 109-run partnership.

King’s 82 off 76 balls, laced with eight boundaries and three sixes, set the tone. Lewis fell agonizingly short of a half-century, dismissed for 49 by Rishad Hossain.

Keacy Carty added 45, and captain Shai Hope (17 not out) and Sherfane Rutherford (24 not out) finished the job comfortably.

“We were clinical today,” said Hope. “We have been struggling to win series at home, hope to finish 3-0 now.”

It was West Indies’ first ODI series win against Bangladesh after 10 years. 

Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz lamented his team’s batting collapse. “We didn’t bat well in the middle overs. Partnerships were missing. 300-plus was needed on this wicket,” he said.

West Indies aim for a 3-0 whitewash, while Bangladesh looks to regroup ahead of their Champions Trophy preparations.
