Windies batsmen seen under pressure in front of spin bowlers
Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah, aware of West Indies’ struggle against spin bowling, opened the bowling from off-spinner Hassan, putting the Caribbean team under pressure. It was a do or die fight for both the teams.
After bowling a few overs from the fast bowlers, he called the spinner again in the fifth over and it paid off when Hasan took the big wicket of Chris Gayle (four). Bangladesh took two wickets for just 29 runs in the powerplay. In the next over, Hasan sent Shimron Hetmyer (nine) to the pavilion.

Chase and Pooran took 14 runs in the 15th over. Pooran hit Shakib Al Hasan for two consecutive sixes. Jason Holder also added 15 runs in five balls.
