Earlier in the game, Bangladesh scored 321, marking their first 300-plus total since the 2023 ODI World Cup. Despite a strong start from the West Indies, who took early wickets, Bangladesh recovered with key partnerships. Soumya Sarkar and Mehidy Hasan Miraz led the recovery, building over 100 runs together. After quick wickets fell, Mahmudullah and Jaker Ali added an unbeaten 150 run partnership for the sixth wicket helping them getting past the 300 run mark. Alzarri Joseph took two wickets for the West Indies and was the pick of their bowlers.

On the bowling front, Bangladesh started strongly and took some early wickets. However, they lost momentum through the middle overs, which ultimately allowed the West Indies to recover through Carty and Jangoo's partnership. The Bangladesh bowlers will likely be disappointed with their effort during this critical phase, which shifted the game's momentum away from them. Overall, the West Indies secured a comprehensive 3-0 series victory, mainly highlighting their depth in batting!

They combined to form a substantial partnership of 132 runs, which proved crucial in steering the West Indies back into contention in the match. Carty played a valiant innings, narrowly missing out on a century as he was dismissed for 95 runs. Meanwhile, Jangoo showcased remarkable composure by not only reaching his hundred but also guiding the team to victory alongside Gudakesh Motie at the end.

Cleansweep completed! West Indies have achieved the highest successful run chase at this venue! Who would have thought they could accomplish this at one stage? They were off to a challenging start, losing three quick wickets early on, which put them in a precarious position at 86 for 4 in the 15th over. However, the innings turned around due to a pivotal partnership between Keacy Carty and Amir Jangoo.

Right then, that is it from the run feast at the Warner Park! Shai Hope collects the trophy and poses with the team. The West Indies have concluded this ODI series with a commanding 3-0 victory. We now turn our attention to the upcoming T20 series between these two teams. The first T20I is scheduled for Monday, December 16th, at 12 am GMT.

Mehidy Hasan, the skipper of Bangladesh, says it was a tough day for their bowlers, they did good with the bat but the bowling wasn’t up to the mark.
