In the first match of the Tri-National Series, Shai Hope also made a brilliant ton against hosts Ireland scoring 170 runs to earn a convincing 196-run victory against Ireland.
West Indies won the toss and decided to bat first. But they failed to replicate the same dominance what they displayed in the first match in spite of an opening stand of 89 runs by Shai Hope and Sunil Ambris.
Sunil Ambris, who missed the chance to bat in the first game, opened the innings on Tuesday with Shai Hope and fell as the first batsman scoring 38. Mehidy Hasan Miraz broke the first wicket stand.
Right after the fall of the first wicket, the Caribbean lost Darren Bravo for only one run. He was hunted by Shakib Al Hasan.
However, in the third wicket stand, opener Shai Hope paring with two down Roston Chase contributed 115 runs to make a good platform for posting a big total on the board.
But, that did not happen due to the dismissal of Roston and Hope in a span of two runs by Tigers captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza.
Roston scored 51 and Hope fell for 109 runs which was his third ton against Bangladesh in just seven innings.
In the last 7.5 overs, West Indies lost five wickets adding only 54 runs.
Tigers captain Mashrafe was the most successful bowler taking three wickets for 49 runs in his 10-over spell while Mohammad Saifuddin and Mustafizur Rahman grabbed two wickets each conceding 47 and 84 runs respectively, bowling 10 overs each.
This was the Mustafiz’s second worst bowling in ODI after conceding 93 against New Zealand last year.
On the other hand, Shakib and Mehidy conceded 33 and 38 runs respectively taking one wicket each.
Now, Bangladesh need to score runs at an average of 5.24 to win this game and bring the confidence which they lost losing the practice game against Ireland A on Sunday.
Earlier, West Indies made a flying start to the series winning the opening battle against Ireland by a massive margin of 196 runs relying on the record-breaking stand of 365 by John Campbell and Shai Hope.
Bangladesh lost their lone practice game against Ireland A by 88 runs. The Tigers were struggling to adapt to the condition of Ireland.
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Mustafizur Rahman skipped the practice game.
However, they are in the playing XI of their first match of the event.
