Bangladesh tour of West Indies 2022 started with a good start for the West Indies as they took over the T20 series in their favour. Earlier in the series, West Indies also conquered the Test Series of 2 matches with blistering form.
What lies ahead is the ODI series of 3 matches in which Bangladesh has a chance to redeem themselves over the last 2 series losses. The 1st ODI is supposed to be played on Sunday, the 10th of July, in Providence Stadium.
On Saturday, persistent rain forced the first T20I between the West Indies and Bangladesh to be called off early. The match was lowered to 16 overs for each side due to a wet outfield that deferred the start by 100 minutes. The match was limited to 14 overs per side after play was brought to a halt in the eighth over. The match was eventually called off because of the unconditional weather. The 2nd T20 was a blasting match as Rovman Powell and Brandon King anchored the match’s favour towards Bangladesh with their swift half-centuries. Similarly, Nicholas Pooran proved to be a key role in the 3rd T20 which resulted in a series win for West Indies.
