Good recovery in the field! Short again and around off, Tanzim Hasan Sakib slaps it wide of sweeper covers. Alick Athanaze almost overruns it to his right, but manages to get his hands to the other side to grab it. Just one. 17 runs needed in 4 balls now!

Rishad Hossain tries to reach it and loft it down the ground but gets it from the toe-end of the bat. It flies in the air towards long off, where Rovman Powell runs forward a bit and takes a nice catch. Bangladesh are seven down now, still needing 17 runs in 3 balls.

Jason Holder to Shamim Hossain
OUT! BOWLED'EM! Jason Holder strikes gold! It is going from bad to worse for Bangladesh in this moderate run chase. Holder comes around the wicket and nails a perfect yorker, lasering on middle and off. Shamim Hossain is very late to get his bat down in time and the ball goes through to shatter the stumps. Holder brings on the dancing moves. Bangladesh are 124/6, still needing 26 runs in 11 balls!

Romario Shepherd to Tanzid Hasan
OUT! TAKEN! Romario Shepherd gets the set batter here, and Bangladesh are under a lot of pressure now. Short of a length and outside off, gives no pace at all. Tanzid Hasan looks to cut it away hard but has to generate his own power. He fails to do so and ends up slicing it towards deep backward point, where Brandon King does not have to move an inch and takes a fine catch. Hasan departs for a fine 61 off 48. Bangladesh are 117/7, needing 33 runs in 17 balls!

Excellent stop! Fuller and on off, Jaker Ali drills it down the pitch. Romario Shepherd, on his follow-through, sticks out his right hand to grab it. He had the chance to throw it at the stumps with Shamim backing up a long way, but decided not to do it.

Romario Shepherd to Jaker Ali
OUT! TAKEN! Romario Shepherd gets his second of the over and ends his spell with a three-fer. It's pin-drop silence here in Chattogram. This is a well-directed bouncer, outside off. Jaker Ali tries to take it on and looks to pull it away but the ball gets big on him. It takes the top edge and flies straight to deep mid-wicket, where Khary Pierre takes a fine catch inches ahead of the ropes. End of a clumsy 17 off 18, and Bangladesh lose half their side now.

Romario Shepherd to Tanzid Hasan
FOUR! FIFTY FOR TANZID HASAN! His 9th T20I half century, and this has come at a very crucial time for his team, but he knows that the job is far from done. Length ball, just around the off stump. Tanzid Hasan advances down the track and mercilessly smashes it through the cover and mid off gap for a boundary. That was struck with some real venom. Tanzid has been exceptional for Bangladesh in the shortest format, and it is crucial for him to finish it off for his side from this position.

Akeal Hosein to Tanzid Hasan
IN THE AIR AND DROPPED... AGAIN! This is unbelievably sloppy fielding from West Indies, as this is the fourth catch put down. Short of a length, spinning back in very sharply from outside off. Tanzid Hasan is rushed on the back foot and goes for the pull but gets it right off the cue end, lobbing it straight to Athanaze, who puts it down at deep mid-wicket. He had enough time and the trajectory was at a comfortable height as well. This will probably come back to haunt them.

Jayden Seales runs and slides to his right and takes a good low catch. Tawhid Hridoy departs for 12 (14) and Bangladesh are 85/3.

MISFIELD, FOUR! This is really sloppy from West Indies. Full and tossed up on middle. Tawhid Hridoy slogs it over mid-wicket. Jason Holder from deep square leg, runs to his left and just casually overruns, while attempting to flick it back with his hands. The ball evades him and races into the fence. Khary Pierre is not a happy bowler, and right so.

IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Dear me, this is the third chance gone begging in the field for the Windies. Pitched full and on the middle stump. Tawhid Hridoy gets down on a knee and sweeps it aerially, but mistimes it massively off the toe end. The ball dips in front of deep square leg where Jayden Seales is a bit slow to get off the blocks. Eventually, he puts in a dive forward, but fails to scoop it above the grass and shells it. A single taken.

Sherfane Rutherford at short mid-wicket tries to settle under it, but with the ball swirling, he has to wait for an eternity for it to come down. He tries to grab it with both hands near his midriff while already going down, but fails to hold onto it. Litton gets a huge life here. Bangladesh are 37/1 at the end of the Powerplay!

Jayden Seales to Litton Das
Big swing and a miss! Short and outside off. Litton Das dances down the track and tries to hit it with a flat bat to the off side, but misses to connect. Jayden Seales hurls some words to the batter.

Jayden Seales to Litton Das
FOUR! Excellent use of pace! On a back of a length from Seales, outside off. Litton Das waits back, and ramps it over short third for a boundary. A bit expensive in this over, 14 runs from it. Bangladesh need 122 runs from 90 balls.

Jason Holder to Saif Hassan
OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! Brandon King makes amends for his dropped catch. Honestly, a pretty reckless shot as the dot ball pressure was clearly showing. Jason bowls it short and into the pitch, just outside off. It rises off the pitch. Saif Hassan gets into an awkward position, trying to swat it over covers, but gets a thick top edge. The ball swirls up in the air for a long time. Brandon King, stationed at extra cover, locks his eyes on the ball and takes a simple catch. Saif Hassan departs for a scratchy 5 (11) and Bangladesh are 13/1.

BEATEN! Good comeback delivery from Seales! Hits the hard length, keeping the line of attack outside the off stump. It lands and skids off the deck and beats Tanzid who attempts to play the square cut on the off side.

Jayden Seales to Saif Hassan
A massive appeal for LBW, but not given. Shai Hope refuses to go upstairs, probably based on height. Seales spears it on a good length, getting it to move away from off. Saif Hassan gets across to flick it to the leg side, but misses and wears on the back pad. Ball Tracking validates Hope's decision as the ball is projected to miss the middle and leg stump. So, a smart decision from Hope to not review that.

Jason Holder to Saif Hassan
Too shabby in the field! Back of a length, on middle, Saif Hassan tucks off the back foot to mid-wicket, and steals a quick run. Romario Shepherd from mid on collects the ball and throws it wayward to the keeper. It goes towards Roston Chase at short third where he bends low, but is casual to collect it and lets it through to the deep. The man from backward point chases it before the ropes. Two taken.

Bangladesh's 37/1 meets West Indies' 50/1 after the first six overs. The first three overs went for just 12/0, and the next three, with the arrival of Das, have gone for 25 runs with a loss of a wicket. The fielding restrictions have now been lifted. And with that, Roston Chase is introduced into the attack, replacing Jayden Seales.

Spin in tandem now. Here's Akeal Hosein into the attack, replacing Romario Shepherd.

DRINKS BREAK. Bangladesh were pushed into another rebuilding phase with Litton Das' dismissal, but Tanzid Hasan has shown good intent to keep the scorecard moving. All they need is to form a good partnership, without being flashy, to cross the line as the asking rate is not at all massive at the moment. West Indies, on the other hand, need wickets in heaps. The ball has turned for the spinners and with minimal dew out there, negotiating the tweakers will be a challenge in this middle phase.

Final over to go then. Bangladesh need a miracle of a finish as they still require 21 runs off the last 6 legal balls to level the series. Akeal Hosein (3-0-16-1) to deliver the last over of the match.

So, West Indies claim their second T20I series win of this calendar year, having already conquered Ireland earlier. This also marks West Indies' third consecutive T20I series win against Bangladesh in Bangladesh. They will now be eyeing to execute a clean sweep. It's been a disappointing series for Bangladesh so far. The series is gone, but there's still pride on the line. They'll be desperate to bounce back in the final game and avoid the whitewash, but have a lot of introspection to be done, especially with their approach while batting. That wraps it up, then. The third and final T20I will be played at the same venue of Chattogram on Friday, 31st October, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 12 pm GMT. Do join us for all the pre-match analysis an hour earlier. But until then, it is goodbye, only to meet again. Take care, cheers!
