Windies make ODI history by bowling 50 overs of spin
All-rounders Greaves and Sherfane Rutherford, both of whom bowl medium-fast pace, were not brought into the attack. Seam-bowling all-rounder Romario Shepherd was also left out of the XI while seamers Jediah Blades and Shamar Joseph are injured. Bangladesh turned to the pace of Mustafizur Rahman - he bowled eight wicketless overs for 40 runs in the regulation innings - but spinners still dominated, taking all nine wickets as the tourists ended on 213-9 to leave the scores tied. Having earlier been 133-7, West Indies only needed five runs from the last over with two wickets left but only managed two from the first five balls. With Hope on 53 not out at the non-striker's end, that left number 11 Pierre three to get from the final delivery and he top-edged a slog to square leg where wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan dropped the catch and allowed Windies to steal two and force a super over. The hosts were set a target of 11 to win from their six balls and, despite starting with a wide and following with a no-ball, spinner Hosein conceded only one from the last when Bangladesh needed three for victory. The series concludes at the same ground on Thursday.
