WEST INDIES Twenty/20 captain Rovman Powell said his team continues to repeat the same mistakes, after conceding the three-match T20 series versus Bangladesh with a 27-run defeat in the second match, at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St Vincent and the Grenadines, on December 17.
Bangladesh assumed an unassailable 2-0 series lead to clinch their first T20 series win over the Windies since 2018.
"It has become something of major concern now, where we have to keep on making the same mistakes over the duration of the games. It's something that needs rectifying at the moment," Powell told the media after his team failed to chase down Bangladesh's modest 130-run target.

WEST INDIES Twenty/20 captain Rovman Powell said his team continues to repeat the same mistakes, after conceding the three-match T20 series versus Bangladesh with a 27-run defeat in the second match, at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St Vincent and the Grenadines, on December 17.

Bangladesh assumed an unassailable 2-0 series lead to clinch their first T20 series win over the Windies since 2018.

"It has become something of major concern now, where we have to keep on making the same mistakes over the duration of the games. It's something that needs rectifying at the moment," Powell told the media after his team failed to chase down Bangladesh's modest 130-run target.

In their chase, the Windies were reeling at 42 for six in the ninth over at one stage, before being bowled out for a paltry 102 in the penultimate over.

"I think the (pitch) had a little more in it for the bowlers, to be honest. Having said that, not being able to chase 129 is not good enough at this level."

Pacer Taskin Ahmed (three for 16) was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors, and got the ball rolling in the power play with the scalps of Brandon King (eight) and Andre Fletcher, who fell for his second straight duck in the series.

Soon enough, the West Indies slipped to 32 for four in the final over of the power play after the dismissal of Nicholas Pooran (five). Though dropped before getting off the mark, Powell (six) and Romario Shepherd (duck) followed in quick succession.

The Windies had a lower order revival, as Akeal Hosein (31 off 31) and allrounder Roston Chase (32 off 34) momentarily stemmed the slide with a 47-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Both batsmen showed the extra application and care which were needed on the pitch, but with the required rate climbing to 12 runs per over with four overs left, something had to give.

Chase tried to take on leg-spinner Rishad Hossain (two for 12) in the 17th over, but the result was a disastrous one for the West Indies, as the former was comprehensively bowled going for a big heave. Off the very next ball, new batsman Gudakesh Motie was caught on the long-off boundary as West Indies slumped to 89 for eight.

In the next over, Alzarri Joseph (duck) offered a simple return catch to Tanzim Hasan Sakib as West Indies lost their ninth wicket – 40 runs from victory.

Hosein kept faint hopes alive with a pair of sixes, but the final blow was dealt in the penultimate over when the left-hander chased a wide delivery from Taskin to be caught at point by Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Asked if the Windies should have made changes after the first loss, Powell said they needed to show faith in the original playing XI.

"To keep chopping and changing won't be the answer. It's about guys playing and making mistakes and learning from those mistakes. It's a case of us trying and hoping guys don't make the same mistakes over and over."

Powell said it was too early to say whether changes would be made for the final T20 on December 19.

Earlier, the West Indies appeared to be in control with the ball in hand, as the visitors were struggling at 45 for four at the ten-over mark and slipped into further trouble by the 17th over, with their score on 88 for seven.

But Man of the Match Shamim Hossain (35 not out off 17 balls) gave Bangladesh impetus at the back end, and struck two fours and two sixes in his unbeaten knock to help his team score 41 runs in the last four overs. Mehidy chipped in with 26 off 25 balls, with Jaker Ali scoring 21.

Motie led the West Indies bowling with figures of two for 25, with four other bowlers taking a wicket apiece. Hosein, the new number-one-ranked bowler in the T20 format, was at his miserly best in the power play and conceded just 16 runs in his four overs.

Despite Hosein's best efforts with the bat, West Indies were unable to avoid a third straight T20 series loss.

The hosts will aim for a consolation win in the final T20, which bowls off from 8 pm on December 19.

Summarised scores:

BANGLADESH: 129/7 from 20 overs (Shamim Hossain 35 not out, Mehidy Hasan Miraz 26; Gudakesh Motie 2/25, Roston Chase 1/8) vs WEST INDIES: 102 from 18.3 overs (R Chase 32, Akeal Hosein 31; Taskin Ahmed 3/16, Rishad Hossain 2/12). Bangladesh won by 27 runs.
