Bangladesh suffered a thumping 3-0 T20I series defeat to the West Indies, as they lost the third and final match by 5 wickets on Friday at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram.
Batting first, Bangladesh once again depended heavily on opener Tanzid Hasan, who made a sparkling 89 off 62 balls. His innings included nine fours and four sixes and carried the hosts to 151 all out after yet another middle-order collapse.
Saif Hassan (23) was the only other batter to reach double figures as Bangladesh lost their last seven wickets for just 44 runs.
Romario Shepherd (3 for 36) continued his fine series with the ball, removing Tanzid in the 19th over to end Bangladesh’s hopes of a bigger total.
Jason Holder and Khary Pierre took two wickets each, while Roston Chase and Akeal Hosein kept things tight in the middle overs.
In reply, West Indies recovered quickly from a cautious start to cruise home in 16.5 overs.
Captain Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste shared a 91-run stand off just 45 balls, both scoring rapid fifties.
Chase hit 50 from 29 balls, while Auguste matched him with 50 off 25, striking five sixes. Earlier, Amir Jangoo had set the tone with 34 from 23 balls.
Rishad Hossain claimed 3 for 43 for Bangladesh, but the rest of the attack failed to contain the flow of runs. Mahedi Hasan and Nasum Ahmed took one wicket each.
West Indies reached 152 for 5 with 19 balls to spare, sealing a clean sweep after earlier wins by 16 and 14 runs.
Chase was named Player of the Match, while Shepherd earned the Player of the Series award for his all-round contributions.
