Third T20 win was team effort, says Brathwaite

West Indies finished their month-long Bangladesh tour on a high note after winning the T20I series 2-1, reports UNB.

The Caribbean side struggled during their India tour as well. Winning a trophy made their tiring sub-continental tour somewhat memorable.

Windies defeated Bangladesh by 50 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Saturday. West Indies T20 captain Carlos Brathwaite said the victory was team effort.

"We were 88 in the powerplay. It goes to show that if we have positive intent to back your ability to play good cricket shots, you can end up with massive scores in the first six overs.

As a bowling unit, we were under the pump a bit.

But what was most impressive was how we kept our resolve after everything that happened.

How we came back out, settled ourselves and then it was bang-bang - wickets kept falling.

It was a top team effort," he said at the post-match press conference.

West Indies posted 190 runs in the first innings after being sent to bat first.

Evin Lewis struck 89 off 36 balls with six fours and eight sixes.

Bangladeshi opener Liton Das started with strong replies and helped Tigers add 30 runs in four overs in spite of losing Tamim Iqbal to run-out.

But, an unwanted situation stole the momentum when Tanvir Ahmed, a Bangladeshi umpire, called a no-ball off Oshane Thomas assuming an over-stepped delivery.

And Liton, who was at the striker end, went to play through long-off but was caught at mid-off.

He, however, remained not-out for the umpire's call.

The Windies saw the ball was fair on the giant screen and went to ask for a Player Review in spite of not having one in such circumstances.

Brathwaite had animated discussion with the on-field umpire before match referee Jeff Crowe came to the boundary and talked to both captains.

The whole things took about 10 minutes before West Indies agreed to continue the game with no-ball stayed.

But the incident broke concentration of the Bangladeshi batsmen. Two wickets fell in consecutive deliveries in the very next over. The hosts lost three wickets in the span of nine runs and eventually, they finished the innings scoring 140 in 17 overs.

Shakib Al Hasan fell on his very first delivery right after Soumya Sarkar's dismissal.

Mushfqiur Rahim also put up a poor performance, and Mahmudullah Riyad followed him.

With the latter's dismissal, Bangladesh lost their last hope.

Bangladesh head coach Steve Rhodes said he believed the no-ball incident broke the concentration of the Tigers.

"Yes, absolutely [that incident had an impact]. If you look at the way the match went, we have great momentum.

But that delay shifted the momentum. We sent messages to guys in the middle to resume focusing on the game, and carry on as normal because those sorts of things can shift the momentum," Rhodes said after the match.
