**St. Vincent, [Date]** – Bangladesh pulled off a stunning victory over the West Indies in a thrilling T20 match in St. Vincent, marking their first ever T20 win on West Indian soil. The match, the first international cricket game in St. Vincent in 10 years, saw Bangladesh post a modest 147/6 batting first.
The West Indies, despite losing five wickets for 38 runs, were kept in the contest by a blistering 60 from captain Rovman Powell (35 balls, 4 sixes, 5 fours). However, Bangladesh’s disciplined bowling, particularly Hasan Mahmud’s death bowling, proved decisive. Mahmud, after taking the key wicket of Powell in the final over, then bowled Alzarri Joseph clean bowled in the final ball, securing a nail-biting 7-run victory.
Mehdi Hasan played a crucial role earlier in the match claiming 4 wickets for 13 runs, disrupting the West Indies chase. While Powell’s knock threatened to take the game away from Bangladesh, Hasan Mahmud’s exceptional death bowling secured the memorable win for Liton Das’s team. The victory also marks Bangladesh’s first win against the West Indies in six years. The West Indies were eventually bowled out for 140.
This historic win showcases Bangladesh’s improved T20 capabilities and provides a significant upset in the cricketing world.
