Ramharack’s Magic with the Ball
Ramharack played a pivotal role in Bangladesh’s collapse, removing both openers early and finishing with four wickets. Her disciplined off-spin dismantled Bangladesh’s middle order, preventing them from building partnerships.
Bangladesh’s Struggles with the Bat
Despite a fighting 39 from captain Nigar Sultana, Bangladesh could only muster 103/8, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Their chances of advancing to the semi-finals now hang by a thread after suffering their second defeat in three matches.
Matthews Shines in the Chase
West Indies’ chase was dominated by Hayley Matthews, who punished Bangladesh’s bowlers during the powerplay. She stitched a solid 52-run opening stand with Stafanie Taylor before falling to Marufa Akter. Deandra Dottin finished the game in style with a quickfire 19 off 7 balls. West Indies’ win takes them to the top of Group B, keeping their semi-final hopes alive.
