Bangladesh 135 for 7 (Rahim 41*, Samuels 2-14) beat West Indies 132 for 8 (Samuels 58, Shafiul 2-19, Shakib 2-25) by three wickets
Mushfiqur Rahim cracked a six off the one before the last ball to give Bangladesh side a dramatic three-wicket victory over West Indies in their Twenty20 clash. The home side needed four to win off the final two balls, but new skipper, Mushfiqur decided to fasten the success in style to complete a perfect captaincy debut. After winning the toss and electing to field, Mushfiqur saw his bowlers restrict West Indies to 132 for eight from their 20 overs.
Lendl Simmons and Adrian Barath got the visitors off to a decent start, making 25 runs before Barath was dismissed from the second ball of the third over. That brought Marlon Samuels to the crease and he was active in ensuring his side had a sensible total to defend. As wickets fell around him - Simmons and Denesh Ramdin the only other batsmen to reach double figures - Samuels made 58 from 42 balls, including four sixes, before dismissing in the penultimate over.
In reply, Bangladesh made a good start and had reached 49 for one before Imrul Kayes was dismissed from the final ball of the seventh over. Samuels dismissed Mohammad Ashraful on his way to figures of two for 14 where six runs were required off the last over. Nasir Hossain edged behind attempting an extravagant stroke from the third ball, but after Abdur Razzak scrambled a single, Mushfiqur held his courage to fasten Ravi Rampaul for a huge six over deep midwicket.
