BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – The West Indies pulled off a thrilling six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their recent One Day International (ODI) match. Chasing a challenging 322-run target, the West Indies reached the finish line in 46 overs, thanks largely to a stunning century from debutant Amir Jangoo.

Jangoo smashed 104 runs off 83 balls, an innings studded with 11 fours and 4 sixes, showcasing an impressive array of shots and commanding presence at the crease. His partnership with Keacy Carty, who contributed a near-century with a 95-run knock, formed the backbone of the West Indies’ successful chase. Carty’s innings also included several boundaries.

Bangladesh, earlier in the day, had posted a strong 321/5 in their allotted 50 overs. Mahmudullah’s 84 (63 balls) and Mehidy Hasan’s 77 (73 balls) laid a solid foundation for their team. Alzarri Joseph (2/43) and Sherfane Rutherford (1/37) were the pick of the West Indies bowlers.

However, the West Indies’ chase was not without its moments of tension. While Jangoo anchored the innings, wickets fell at regular intervals, keeping the pressure on until the very end. The final stages saw some exciting hitting from the West Indies batsmen, culminating in a winning boundary. Rishad Hossain (2/68) and Taskin Ahmed (1/49) were the most successful Bangladesh bowlers.

The match was a display of explosive batting from both sides, with Jangoo’s century the standout performance, making it a memorable win for the West Indies.
