West Indies Seal ODI Series Clean Sweep with Record-Breaking Chase
Amir Jangoo’s Century and Kaecy Carty’s Knock Lead the Way
The West Indies cricket team clinched a remarkable victory against Bangladesh to complete a clean sweep in their ODI series. Chasing a challenging target of 321 runs, debutant Amir Jangoo stole the show with a stunning century, while Kaecy Carty’s blistering 95-run innings played a pivotal role in the historic win.
Bangladesh’s Batting Performance Sets the Stage
Despite their defeat, Bangladesh showcased a solid batting performance, amassing 321/5 in their 50 overs. The innings was anchored by Mahmudullah, who secured his third consecutive half-century of the series, remaining unbeaten on 84 runs. Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed a stellar 77, partnering with Soumya Sarkar in a 136-run stand that laid a firm foundation for the innings.
Mahmudullah and Jaker Ali Shine in the Final Overs
As the innings progressed, Mahmudullah found a reliable ally in Jaker Ali. The duo stitched together an unbeaten 150-run stand for the sixth wicket, guiding Bangladesh through the final 20 overs and setting a daunting target for the West Indies. Despite this strong finish, the visitors’ efforts ultimately fell short.
West Indies Overcome Early Setbacks
The chase began on a shaky note for the West Indies, with the top-order collapsing to 86/4 by the 15th over. However, debutant Amir Jangoo and Kaecy Carty orchestrated a stunning turnaround, forming a 132-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
Amir Jangoo’s Dream Debut
Amir Jangoo’s unbeaten 104 runs, laced with boundaries and precise shot selection, made him the hero of the match. His calm demeanor under pressure was complemented by Kaecy Carty’s aggressive approach. Although Carty fell just five runs short of his century, his 95-run knock provided the momentum needed to keep the chase on track.
Guadakesh Motie’s Supporting Role
In the final stretch, Jangoo found support in Guadakesh Motie, whose unbeaten 44 runs helped seal the deal with 25 balls to spare. This victory marked the West Indies’ third-highest successful chase in ODI history and their third consecutive win against Bangladesh, ending an 11-match losing streak against the Tigers.
