M Riyad to A Hosein
Quicker through the air, on the stumps, Hosein plays it wide of the covers fielder and takes a single. Right then, 1 run is required now. Will Pooran finish it in style?

M Riyad to N Pooran
YES HE DOES FINISH IT IN STYLE!! MASSIVE SIX over the long-on region, was a tossed-up delivery, on the stumps, Pooran dances down the track and smashes it over the boundary ropes and finishes it off in some style!! West Indies have won the match by 5 wickets!!
WI won by 5 wickets
Vatsal: A pretty easy chase for the West Indies at the end. Chasing
164 for a victory, they started off on a poor note losing King and Brooks inside
4 overs. Smith came in at 4 as a pinch hitter but got dismissed for 2. Skipper
Pooran then joined hands with Kyle Mayers who hit 55 off 38 balls and together they put on 85 inside 9
overs to get the West Indies in a commanding position, Pooran, in particular, was
dominant against spin and pace as he ended up with 74* off 39 balls with 5
fours and 5 sixes to register a 2-0 series win over the Bangla Tigers. The
Bangladesh bowling was good in patches, N Ahmed picked up 2 wickets but got hit
in his last over to end with 2-44 in his 4 overs while M Hasan, Shakib, and Afif
picked a wicket a piece. M Hasan was the most impressive of the lot getting
1-21 in his 4 overs
Bangladesh batting 1st had earlier put on 163-5
on the back of Afif Hossain’s fifty and 49 from Litton Das, M Riyad chipped in
with 22 off 20. The West Indies bowlers did a good job to restrict the Bangladesh
team. H Walsh Jr was the star of the bowling with 2-25 in his 4 overs, Shepherd
and O Smith got a wicket each, and the rest of the bowlers bowled an economical
spell to restrict Bangladesh to 163.
A commanding win here for the West Indies team
Mahmudullah Riyad (Bangladesh Captain): We had our opportunities in the game but Mayers and Pooran batted really well. Upfront our bowlers did well but that partnership took the game away from us. Told the bowlers to bowl in the right areas and stick to their strengths. I would take the total but we were 10 runs short. In the bowling department, we had our chance but could have been better on another day. We were targetting the first few overs, should have taken a lot more chances. We'll learn from our mistakes and look to improve in the ODI series.
Nicolas Pooran (West Indies Captain, Man of the Match & Man of the Series): Definitely love Guyana. I am happy to have performed in front of this amazing crowd. We would take two wins out of this series. We talked about positive intent. Kyle is growing in confidence. I am the way he played. We kept them under pressure. I asked my players to trust me. I try to stay ahead of the game. I thought it would be a little with the new ball and hence handed the new ball to Kyle. I just want the players to trust the process. I want the players to back their skills and use their abilities. We are high on confidence and will look to continue will the same in the upcoming ODI series.
