Bangladesh level series beating Windies

Sport Desk: Bangladesh made the third match as series decider after a 12-run victory against host West Indies in the second T20I of a three-match series at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, USA on Sunday.

Sent into bat first, Bangladesh scored 171 for 5 in 20 overs as TamimIqbal and skipper Shakib Al Hasan hammered fifties and shared a 4th wicket partnership of 90 from 8.2 overs.

MustafizurRahman (3/50), Nazmul Islam (3/28) and Shakib (2/19) shared eight wickets, helping Bangladesh restrict the West Indies at 159 for 9 in 20 overs to level the series.

Windies opener Andre Fletcher [43 off 38b; 3x4; 2x6] and number-6 batsman Rovman Powell [43 off 34b; 3x4; 2x6] carried the half-way of their chase, but Bangladesh bowlers denied their remaining double digit scorers -- Andre Russell [17], Ashley Nurse [16], skipper Carlos Brathwaite [11] and Marlon Samuels [10] -- to reach to 20 runs marks. 

Bangladesh lost the rain-interrupted first game by seven wickets against Windies at Basseterre in St Kitts on July 31.

This is Bangladesh’s third victory against West Indies in their eight encounters, of them one was ended for no results, in this format.
