A WI whitewash: Bangladesh lose series 3-0
Tuesday, 26 August 2014
Denesh Ramdin hit a memorable 169-run off 121 balls and Darren Bravo struck 124 as the West Indies (WI) powered to a 3-0 series sweep of Bangladesh with a 91-run win in the 3rd and final one-day international in Basseterre on Monday. Wicketkeeper Ramdin slammed eight 4s and eleven 6s at Warner Park and shared a record-breaking 3rd-wicket stand of 258 with left-hander Bravo as the WI finished with 338-7 off 50 overs. Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim (72) and Tamim Iqbal (55) led the reply, but the tourists were never realistically in with a chance and at the end could only reach 247-8. Seam bowler Ravi Rampaul was impressive for the Caribbean side, taking 4-29 from 10 overs. Al-Amin Hossain took 4-59 for the visitors. The teams meet in a one-off Twenty20 international at the same venue on Wednesday, according to a news agency.
