During the third ODI of the ongoing Bangladesh tour of West Indies at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, the Bangladeshi spinners managed to tighten the noose around the Windies batters for the third successive time this series, to leave them staring at a highly probable 0-3 defeat in the three-match ODI series.
While it was the pair of Mehidy Hasan and Nasum Ahmed during the first two ODIs, it was left-arm spinner Taijul Islam today, who bagged a five-wicket haul, to restrict West Indies for a paltry 178 in 48.4 Overs.
A win for Bangladesh today would not only help them clean sweep the ODI series, but also extend their winning streak against the Windies in One-Dayers to 11 matches.
