Jaker Ali remained unbeaten on 72 runs off 41 balls hitting three fours and six sixes.
Kingtown: Dramatic events took place on the ground during West Indies-Bangladesh 3rd T20I. Bangladesh, who won the toss and batted first, scored 189 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs, while Jaker Ali, who scored 72 runs off 41 balls, was the top scorer for Bangladesh. In the 15th over, Jaker Ali scored 17 runs off 16 balls when he hit Roston Chase’s ball to square leg and ran for a single.
As wicketkeeper Nicholas Puran ran to collect the ball, Jaker Ali ran back for the second run, but Shamim Hossain, who was at the striking end, returned to the crease after opening. Meanwhile, Jaker Ali had reached the striking end. With the two batsmen standing to one side, Nicholas Puran took the ball and gave it to Roston Chase at the bowling end. Roston Chase also ran out Jaker Ali.
With this, when Jaker Ali left the crease and reached the dressing room, the TV umpire realized that Shamim Hossain’s bat was in the air when Jaker Ali reached the crease. Then Shamim Hossain (2) was called out and the umpire recalled Jaker Ali to the crease. A lively Jaker Ali then smashed it to lead Bangladesh to a perfect score. Jaker Ali remained unbeaten on 72 runs off 41 balls hitting three fours and six sixes. Chasing the target of 190 runs set by Bangladesh, Windies were all out for 109 runs in 16.4 overs. With the win, Bangladesh swept the three-match T20 series 3-0.
