Historic Series Sweep

Debutant Amir Jangoo scored a One-Day International century for the West Indies to pull off another record chase to defeat Bangladesh by four wickets and complete a series sweep at Warner Park.

The 27-year-old Jangoo scored an unbeaten 104 while Keacy Carty blasted 95, and the West Indies chased down Bangladesh’s impressive 321 for five, finishing on 325 for six off 45.5 overs to claim the series 3-0.

Jangoo became just the second West Indian since Desmond Haynes in 1978 to score an ODI century on debut, and his knock helped West Indies record the highest successful run chase at Warner Park.

It was a victory that seemed unlikely after WI slumped to 31 for three at the beginning. Brandon King ran himself out for 15 when his opening partner, Alick Athanaze, turned him back. Athanze was bowled for seven by left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, and captain Shai Hope nicked pacer Hasan Mahmud to second slip after scoring just three to put the visitors in control.

Sherfane Rutherford joined Keacy Carty and added 55 runs in 10 overs to repair the innings.
But Rutherford pulled a short delivery from fast bowler Taskin Ahmed straight into the hands of Tanzid Hasan and was out for 30 from 33 balls.

Player-of-the-Match Jangoo then came to the crease to join Carty and shared a 132-run stand for the fourth wicket to bring the home side back into the contest. Carty brought up his fifth ODI half-century off 48 balls.

Jangoo started slowly but eventually got in control, hitting Nasum three boundaries as West Indies moved to 165 for four after 26 overs.
He reached his 50 off 45 balls and was lucky not to be dismissed on 61 when substitute fielder Emon dropped a catch. Bangladesh would regret this opportunity.

Carty was well on his way to his second ODI century, but he was stopped five runs short when Soumya Sarkar took a brilliant catch off Rishad Hossain to leave the score 218 for five. He faced 88 balls and struck two sixes and 10 fours.

Roston Chase made just 12 before he was caught by Rishad Hossain and the score 234 for six in the 38th over.
But Jangoo and Gudakesh Motie brought the Windies home in an unbroken 91-run partnership in just eight overs.

Jangoo brought up his milestone with a crunching six off Afif Hossain. He then turned to his colleagues and raised his bat before kneeling to kiss the surface.
The match was over soon after, with Motie providing the finishing touches by hitting Rishad Hossain for two massive sixes.

Jangoo faced 83 balls and struck four sixes and six fours, while Motie finished unbeaten on 44 from 31 balls with three sixes and three fours.

Earlier, Bangladesh posted a highly competitive total thanks to the half-centuries of Mahmudullah, Miraz, Sarkar, and Ali.
Mahmudullah top scored with an unbeaten 84 from 63 balls, Miraz made 77, Sarkar 73, and Ali finished not out on 62.
