 Familiar format, familiar rhythm. Bangladesh is back on the hunt


Bangladesh winning moment. 

Till yesterday, the tour of Bangladesh on the soil of the West Indies was like forgetting. The Tigers have lost the series in both Test and T20 formats. However, Tamim Iqbal's team is on fire again after returning to the game in their favorite format. The Caribbean batting line-up couldn't stand in front of Bangladesh bowlers. Mustafizur Rahman and Nasum Ahmed started the proceeding on the rain-wet wicket. Then Shoriful and Miraz took it and went ahead.

Meanwhile, Nasum Ahmed made his debut in the ODI format today. Yet Tamim Iqbal has relied on this spinner. Nasum has made a great start by using the help of the wicket. Had it not been for the controversial review of Shamarh Brooks, he might have got the first wicket in ODI cricket in his second over.

Players are waiting for the decision of the third umpire.

Although he did not get a wicket, Nasum bowled the Caribbean batters in a controlled manner. He bowled eight overs and spent only 16 runs. This has made the task easier for other bowlers. Tamim is also to be commended for handing over the first ball of the innings to Nasum. Besides, Tamim's captaincy was aggressive and attacking throughout the match.

Besides, at the beginning of the match, there was a controversy over the review Nasum's over. The on-field umpire was given out but later the TV umpire declared it is not out. There is a rule that the third umpire must be 100% sure if the original umpire's decision is to be proved wrong. But seeing the spike caused by the bat and pad, TV umpire Nigel Duguid decided to get out. And that's why the controversy is so much more. 

As a result, the question can be asked whether Bangladesh was deprived of a wicket. And naturally, Tamim Iqbal could not accept the matter. The Bangladesh captain was seen exchanging heated words with two on-field umpires. Meanwhile, Shamarh Brooks, who was saved due to Duguid, was later caught by fast bowler Shariful Islam. The batter left the field after playing an innings of 33 runs from 66 balls.

Then Mehedi Hasan Miraj brought the important wickets at the right time. As always, in this match too, Miraz was the lifeblood of Bangladesh's spin bowling attack. And he did not let Bangladesh feel Shakib's absence at all. Miraz took 3 wickets and gave only 36 runs. Besides, Shoriful Islam also took four wickets. The West Indies innings came to a halt with just 149 runs in front of the entire bowling line-up.

Meanwhile, Tamim Iqbal got off to a great start by batting in reply. He was batting at 133 strikeouts. However, the Bangladesh captain was suddenly run out. Before returning to the pavilion, an innings of 33 runs from 25 balls came from his bat. After Liton and Tamim were out, Nazmul Hossain Shanto took the control of Bangladesh innings. However, he could not make his big as well, he played the innings of 36 runs from 47 balls.


However, the small target of 150 runs could not stand in front of Bangladesh. Mahmudullah Riyad and Nurul Hasan Sohan came to the end of the match without losing any wickets for the rest of the time. As a result, Bangladesh got an easy victory of 6 wickets in the first ODI match against the West Indies. Returning to their favorite format, Bangladesh regained its familiar rhythm. As a result, Tamim's team did not disappoint the spectators who were awake on Eid night.
