6:27 AM IST, 8:57 PM Local Time | Bangladesh Women record a historic victory to keep their hopes of automatic qualification spot alive for another game! They go level in the series at 1-1, after defeating the hosts by 60 runs!
West Indies Women won the toss and elected to bat first, and after a solid start the Bangladeshi batters started to fall at regular intervals. West Indies women led by Karishma Ramharack's 4/33 and Aaliyah Alleyne's 3/24 bundled out Bangladesh Women for 184 runs in their innings!
Skipper Nigar Sultana fought the lone battle for Bangladesh with 68 runs from 102 balls.
Come the chase, Marufa Akter gave Bangladesh a perfect start with the wicket of Qiana Joseph at the end of the third over. Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin shortly followed Qiana to the dugout and West Indies were under pressure.
The hosts were given a little reprieve when the rain gods decided to interfere. However, Bangladesh Women turned up the heat post the first rain-break by inducing a collapse of the West Indies batting order to gain an upper-hand in the match.
Eventually, West Indies succumbed to the scoreboard pressure and let Bangladesh take control to bundle them out for 124 runs and win the contest!
Nahid Akter was the pick of the bowlers with the figures of 3/31 from her 10 overs. While Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, and Fahima Khatun all picked up 2 wickets each to gift their team the victory!
Bangladesh will come out and try again to win and seal their spot in the automatic qualification spots for the World Cup later this year! While, West Indies would want to win this series for pride! All of this and much more in the 3rd ODI in a few days.

Time for the post-match presentation ceremony..
Player of the Match: Nahida Akter
Nahida Akter (Player of the Match): "This was a very important match and we had belief that we could win this match. Whenever we bowl good line and lengths, there is a good chance to win. It is my duty, I try to get at least one run every game."
Hayley Matthews (West Indies Captain): "A lot of targets were set when you bowl and kudos to the bowlers. It was disappointing with the bat, we could not chase it down. We need to do better and figure out ways to score. A lot of dismissals today were in a similar manner and we will learn from it and become better.
I don't think there was any complacency, but the collapse really killed up, losing wickets together was our problem. Karishma and others performed really well today, they picked up wickets and gave us an opportunity to seal the series."

Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh Captain): "Brilliant effort from the girls. From start to finish. From Marufa (Marufa Akter) to Rabeya (Rabeya Khan) in the end. I just tried to hang in till the end. Asked my team-mates to stay with me and said after 40 overs, I can score some boundaries.
This is a game of cricket and anything can happen if we take our chances. The rain also gave us some momentum. We talked about how we should take wickets regularly and the bowlers did the job.
(On dismissing Hayley Matthews and how it impacts the Bangladesh team) She is a very good player and scored a century in the last match. We knew that there will be pressure on them after she gets out. Rabeya took a fantastic catch and the way Nahida (Nahida Akter) bowled was absolutely fantastic."
