Debutant Jangoo, Kaecy Carty power West Indies' clean sweep

Debutant Amir Jangoo scored a century as West Indies chased down 321 to complete a clean sweep in the ODI series against Bangladesh.

West Indies were pushed onto the backfoot with the top-order faltering and slipping to 86/4 by the 15th over. However, the turnaround came about through a blistering 132-run stand for the fifth wicket between Jangoo and Keacy Carty. Carty missed his ton by five runs but Jangoo continued from where he left off in the company of Guadakesh Motie (44*) as the duo completed the chase with 25 balls to spare. It gave West Indies their third-highest chase ever in ODIs and third straight win against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's improved batting show was led by senior star Mahmudullah, who got his third half-century of the series. Alongside Mahmudullah, Bangladesh had three other half-centurions including skipper Mehidy Hasan's 77. After a double-strike by Alzarri Joseph in the third over, Bangladesh's recovery in the initial stage was through Mehidy and Soumya Sarkar. The duo put on a 136-run stand, laying the base for the innings.

Mahmudullah, alongside Jaker Ali then put on a 150-run stand for the sixth wicket that carried Bangladesh through the last 20 overs. The duo scored unbeaten half-centuries to pose a stiff target.
