Even Bangladesh's highest score of 321 in an ODI in St. Kitts was not enough to win. Mahmudullah's unbeaten 84 and Soumya-Miraj's important partnership of 136 made a big collection, but it was overshadowed by West Indies' Amir Jangu.
The left-handed batsman scored a brilliant century in his debut match. He played an unbeaten innings of 104* runs off 83 balls and gave the Caribbeans victory with 4 wickets and 25 balls to spare. He was accompanied by Kisi Carty (95) and Gurakesh Moti (44*). This is the record for the highest run chase in the history of ODIs in St. Kitts.
Earlier, Bangladesh, having lost the toss and elected to bat first, faced disaster at the beginning. After the quick departure of Tanjid and Liton, Soumya-Miraj managed the team. Later, Mahmudullah-Zaker's 150-run partnership took Bangladesh's total to 321.
However, in reply, West Indies lost 4 wickets early on, but Bangladesh's spinners lost their rhythm after the rain break. Jangu and Carty together took away the match from Bangladesh. In the end, the Caribbeans secured victory with a six from Moti.
Amir Jangu was named Man of the Match on debut. Sherfan Rutherford was the Man of the Series. With this victory, West Indies thrashed Bangladesh 3-0 in the ODI series after 10 years.
