Tigresses succumb to T20I series defeat against WI

CWI

Bangladesh women's cricket team suffered a massive 106-run defeat in the second WT20I against West Indies and have lost the three-match series with one game to go at the Warner Park in St Kitts on Wednesday.

The Tigresses' batting fell apart chasing 201-6, and finished their 20-over quota for a mere 95-9. 

The win gave the hosts an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series as they secured an eight-wicket win in the first match. 

Qiana Joseph's explosive 63 and Deandra Dottin's blistering 49 set the stage for a comprehensive victory for the home side. 

After being sent in to bat, West Indies Women piled up an imposing 201-6 in their 20 overs, with Joseph leading the charge in a breathtaking 36-ball knock that included 11 fours and two sixes. 

Captain Hayley Matthews provided early fireworks with 27 from just 18 balls, striking six boundaries before falling to Rabeya Khan.

Dottin then took over, smashing 49 from just 20 deliveries, blasting three fours and five sixes in a display of raw power. She fell just short of a half-century, caught off the bowling of Shorna Akter, but her knock had already given West Indies a commanding total.

Shabika Gajnabi added a valuable unbeaten 24 off 12 balls in the latter stages, ensuring the home side crossed the 200-run mark. Rabeya Khan (2-26) and Fahima Khatun (3-38) were the most successful bowlers for Bangladesh.

In reply, Bangladesh Women never got going, struggling against a disciplined and varied West Indies bowling attack. Cherry-Ann Fraser (2-15) struck early, removing both openers within the first four overs, while Zaida James (1-17) and Ashmini Munisar (1-20) maintained the pressure.

Matthews then chipped in with two wickets for just six runs in her two overs, while veteran leg-spinner Afy Fletcher (2-21) ripped through the middle order, removing captain Nigar Sultana and Fahima Khatun.

Only Sharmin Akter (22) and Shorna Akter (16) offered brief resistance, but Bangladesh could only muster 95-9 in their 20 overs. Extras accounted for 20 of their runs, highlighting their struggles against the Windies attack.
