Chasing 143 for the win, Bangladesh needed 13 off the last over as Liton Das and Mahmudullah squared off in a 40-run stand at Sharjah on Friday. Determined to make a stand, Liton stitched up another 30 runs with Mushfiqur Rahim, whose clever paddle brought his downfall once again on 8 as Bangladesh were left stuttering on 90 for four in the 14th over. Earlier, the West Indies batsmen hauled 142 for seven on a challenging surface against Bangladesh. Mahedi Hasan, who bagged two of the early wickets, had two catching opportunities to peg Bangladesh further ahead, but he grassed them both. But on a tough track, West Indies’ momentum already eyed a total beyond 140.
