West Indies makes 248 against Bangladesh

Bangladesh again bowled steadily and dismissed West Indies for 248 in 47.4 overs in the third and final one-day international on Friday.

It was not the same dominant bowling from the Tigers, who have already wrapped up the series, but they managed to make key breakthroughs every time it looked like West Indies would be getting comfortable at Warner Park.

Off-spinner Mahmudullah, fast-medium bowler Mahbubul Alam, and left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak all captured two wickets.

The Bangladesh bowlers maintained the pressure throughout, and several West Indies batsmen got starts.

Andre Fletcher led the way with 52 from 42 balls, captain Floyd Reifer and his deputy Darren Sammy making 40 apiece, Travis Dowlin getting 38, and Devon Thomas made an unbeaten 29.

Bangladesh restricted West Indies to 10 for two in the fourth over before Dowlin and Andre Fletcher put on 76 for the third wicket.

Fletcher reached his 50 from 40 balls, when he slogged Abdur Razzak over mid-wicket for his eighth four in the 14th over, after he had taken a four and a six off the third and fourth balls of the same over.

The Tigers then wobbled West Indies on 124 for five in the 28th over, but were revived when Reifer and Sammy added 64 before they were among a cluster of wickets that fell in the last 15 overs.
