We needed to execute our slog overs a bit better: Litton Das

Earlier in the match, West Indies skipper Shai Hope (46*) and Rovman Powell (44*) produced an unbroken 83-run partnership for the fourth wicket to push their team to 165/3. Powell, who was playing his 100th T20I, smashed three consecutive sixes in the final over, ensuring the visitors finished on a good note. Bangladesh’s bowlers, including Taskin (2/36), started well but failed in the death overs, conceding 51 runs in the last three overs.

In reply, Bangladesh’s top order collapsed under pressure. Despite Tanzid Hasan’s start, the hosts lost four wickets inside the power play. Litton Das (5), Saif Hassan (8), and Shamim Hossain (1) failed to capitalize on starts, putting Bangladesh on the back foot. Lower-order contributions from Tanzim Hasan Sakib (33) and Nasum Ahmed (20) provided some resistance, but Jason Holder (3/31) and Jayden Seales (3/32) ensured Bangladesh never came close to the target. After the match, captain Litton Das admitted that Bangladesh’s execution in the slog overs let them down.

"They batted really well in the first 10 overs. The wicket was on the slower side and if we had taken early wickets, they would have been under pressure. We needed to execute our slog overs a bit better and that is the main thing we will focus going into the next game. The way Shamim batted was a bit disappointing, he needed to take responsibility at that stage. We bowled really well whole match except for the last over. They (West Indies) took some really good catches as well," he said.
