Windies crash to 61, lose third ODI by eight wickets
October 18th, 2011 - 7:33 pm ICT by IANSChittagong, Oct 18 (IANS/CMC) The West Indies were crushed by Bangladesh in the third One-Day International here Tuesday after they were shockingly dismissed for 61, their second lowest score in limited-overs cricket.
Sent in on a difficult wicket, the Windies plunged from 33 for one in the 11th over, losing nine wickets for 28 runs in the space of 67 balls at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
Opener Tamim Iqbal then stroked an accomplished, unbeaten 36 to steer Bangladesh comfortably to their target, with 30 overs to spare.
West Indies took the series 2-1 following convincing back-to-back wins in Dhaka last week.
In a nightmare end to the One-day series and with the first Test starting Friday, the Windies narrowly avoided the embarrassment of falling to their lowest score, 54, against South Africa in Cape Town seven years ago.
Their batsmen struggled on a slow, low wicket and only 20-year-old opener Kieran Powell, drafted in for his first match of the series, showed any resistance with four fours in his 25 off 36 balls.
He lost Danza Hyatt for three caught at slip in the sixth over, driving loosely at seamer Nazmul Hossain with the score on 10 and watched in-form Marlon Samuels (5) fall to an injudicious stroke in the deep.
Things then fell apart after Powell was bowled by a ripper from 19-year-old off-spinner Nasir Hossain (2-3), as Bangladesh proceeded to wipe out the West Indies middle and lower order.
The only other player to reach double figures was Carlos Brathwaite with 11.
Left-arm spinner Shakib al Hasan claimed four for 16 while fast bowler Shafiul Islam finished with two for 21.
