Desk Report || risingbd.com
The Tigers have created a history as they whitewashed West Indies in T20Is for the first time.
In the third and tour-ending game, Bangladesh set a target of 190 runs. Jaker Ali’s dashing batting propelled the team to put a fighting score. He scored 72 runs hitting three boundaries and six over boundaries from 41 balls.
In reply, West Indies managed to score 109 runs losing all wickets.
Taskin started it off with King's wicket in the first over and once again West Indies did not have a batter who was willing to be there and go big. Mahedi got Pooran for the third time in the series and except Shepherd the others just fell away. Bangladesh as a collective unit bowled well and they hunted as a pack.
Rishad Hossain bagged three kye wickets while Taskin Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan took two wickets each.
Jaker Ali was awarded Player of the Match for his outstanding batting. Besides, Mahedi Hasan was given Player of the series title.
