Bangladesh and West Indies played the second match on the same wicket at Warner Park in St. Kitts on Tuesday. Windies’ captain Shai Hope won the toss and sent Bangladesh to bat to gain an advantage from the wicket. However, the home bowlers could not gain an advantage and Bangladesh gave away wickets in a blundering batting.

Soumya Sarkar (2) gave a catch despite batting straight at a full-length ball. Liton was out in a spectacular manner after playing just 4 runs in 19 balls. After that, Miraj (1) was played on while leaving the ball. Tanjid Tamim was giving hope at one end. He returned to score 46 runs in 33 balls with four fours and two sixes, Bangladesh lost 4 wickets for 64 runs.

From there, Bangladesh lost 7 wickets in quick succession and were reduced to 115 for 7. From there, Mahmudullah Riyad and Tanjim Shakib put on a 92-run partnership. Tanjim returned with 45 runs with four fours and two sixes. Riyad was dismissed for 62 runs off 92 balls with four sixes and two fours, and Bangladesh were all out for 227 runs in 45.5 overs.

Chasing Bangladesh's target of 227 runs, the West Indies' opening partnership of Brandon King (82) and Evin Lewis (49) laid the foundation for 109 runs. Nahid Rana and Rishad Hossain gave Bangladesh wickets. However, the innings of Casey Carty (45) and Shai Hope (17*) took the team to the port of an easy victory.
