Tanzid Hasan scored 89 off 62 balls. Nobody else in Bangladesh’s XI reached 25.
That single fact tells you almost everything about how Bangladesh’s T20I series against West Indies ended. This Bangladesh National Cricket Team vs West Indies Cricket Team match scorecard covers the 3rd T20I at Chattogram — the match that completed a 3-0 series sweep and produced only the second hat-trick in West Indies T20I history.
Bangladesh made 151. West Indies, briefly wobbling at 52/3, recovered through twin fifties from Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste to win by five wickets with 19 balls to spare. Then, in the final over of Bangladesh’s own innings, Romario Shepherd had already done the real damage taking three wickets in three balls to make sure 151 was never going to be enough.

The one-line story: Tanzid Hasan’s lone-hand 89 gave Bangladesh a fighting total, but Romario Shepherd’s hat-trick in the final over, followed by fifties from Chase and Auguste, sealed both the match and a complete series whitewash.

The reality is sharper: West Indies were 52 for 3 at one stage, and only a 91-run fourth-wicket stand turned a nervy chase into a comfortable finish.

Highlights and Key Moments
1. Tanzid Hasan carried 59% of Bangladesh’s total alone
Tanzid Hasan’s 89 off 62 balls, with nine fours and four sixes, was a career-best T20I innings. Out of Bangladesh’s 151, he personally scored 89 that is 59% of the entire total.
What most people miss: a strike rate of 143.55 looks solid in isolation, but the real story is how isolated it was. No other Bangladesh batter passed 25. When one player accounts for well over half a team’s total in a 20-over innings, it signals a batting depth problem, not a batting strength.
2. West Indies stumbled to 52/3 before the recovery
This is the passage of play competitors bury under a fall-of-wickets column. Alick Athanaze fell early at 6/1, Brandon King followed at 37/2, and Amir Jangoo departed at 52/3. For a brief period, Bangladesh had a genuine sniff of defending their modest total.
Counterintuitive point: most readers assume a 151 defense collapses quietly because the total was already too small. Here, the total nearly did its job West Indies needed exactly the kind of recovery that turns a nervy chase into a routine one, and they got it just in time.
3. Chase and Auguste’s 91-run stand ended the contest
Roston Chase made 50 off 29 balls with five fours and a six. Ackeem Auguste, playing the more explosive role, struck 50 off just 25 balls, including five sixes. Together they added 91 for the fourth wicket, taking West Indies from a shaky 52/3 to a commanding 143/4.
Bold opinion: Auguste’s strike rate of exactly 200 in this innings is the more historically significant of the two fifties. Chase’s innings stabilised; Auguste’s ended any lingering hope of a Bangladesh upset. In a chase built around recovering from pressure, the more aggressive partner usually does more to close the door than the more controlled one.
4. Shepherd’s hat-trick: the exact sequence
In the final over of Bangladesh’s innings, Romario Shepherd dismissed Tanzid Hasan and Shoriful Islam with the first two deliveries, then completed his hat-trick with the very next ball dismissing Taskin Ahmed. It made him only the second West Indies bowler in history to take a T20I hat-trick, after Jason Holder.
This is where things go wrong for a batting side already under pressure: losing three wickets in three balls at the death does not just cost runs it removes any chance of a late surge that could have pushed Bangladesh’s total from 151 towards 165 or 170, a target that might have genuinely tested West Indies’ top order.
Player Performance Breakdown
Tanzid Hasan Tamim 89 off 62: a career-best lone hand
Tanzid’s innings included nine fours and four sixes, and it came against a Bangladesh batting unit that otherwise struggled throughout the innings.
Original observation: the value of Tanzid’s innings should be measured not just by its size but by its shape. He built the 50-run third-wicket stand carefully contributing 33 of the 50 runs in 33 balls with Saif Hassan before accelerating later. That two-phase approach, calm build then late aggression, is the modern template for an opener carrying a fragile batting order.
Romario Shepherd: hat-trick and Player of the Series
Shepherd finished with match figures of 3/36 and a hat-trick that sealed both the match and the whitewash. His post-match comment was blunt and instructive: “It’s crucial not to give the opposing team any momentum as the game progresses.”
Practical lesson for death-over bowlers: Shepherd’s hat-trick did not happen by accident. It happened because Bangladesh’s lower order had no set batter left to counter-attack, and Shepherd targeted stumps and full lengths rather than searching for swing or bounce. Removing the highest-value remaining wicket (Tanzid) first, then following up immediately, is a textbook death-over sequence.
Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste twin fifties under real pressure
Chase’s captaincy and batting both mattered here. After West Indies slipped to 52/3, he had to simultaneously manage the required rate and rebuild the innings. His 50 off 29 did exactly that, while Auguste’s more explosive 50 off 25 including his first T20I fifty in just 24 balls turned control into certainty.
Common mistake in analysis: treating both fifties as interchangeable. Chase’s innings was about risk management; Auguste’s was about acceleration. A chase recovering from 52/3 needs both roles filled by different players, and West Indies got exactly that split.
Rishad Hossain Bangladesh’s lone bowling bright spot
Rishad Hossain took 3/43 from his four overs, including two wickets in quick succession late in the West Indies innings. His figures look expensive on the surface, but his wickets came at a stage when West Indies were already closing in on the target a case where wicket-taking mattered more than economy.
What people think vs reality: an economy rate above 10 usually signals a poor bowling performance. Here, Rishad’s wickets briefly threatened to open the door for a Bangladesh comeback, even if the match was already too far gone by that point.
Analysis: Why Bangladesh Lost the T20I Series 3-0
151 needed to be 175-plus
What people think: any total defended by a spirited bowling attack has a real chance in T20 cricket.
Reality: on a surface where West Indies’ middle order struck at a combined rate well above 170, Bangladesh needed a total in the 175-plus range to have created lasting pressure. Tanzid’s 89 got them to a respectable-looking 151, but the batting collapse around him only one other player reaching 23 meant the total was always closer to a par score than a genuinely defendable one.
Dropped catches compounded a batting problem
Bangladesh captain Litton Das was direct in his post-match assessment: “When you miss a few catches, it complicates things.” Combined with a batting order that could not support Tanzid, missed fielding chances turned a competitive chase into a comfortable one.
Bold opinion: Bangladesh’s problem in this series was not one bad performance it was a repeatable pattern of a single batter doing most of the scoring while support play and fielding standards did not match it. That is a structural issue a single strong innings, however good, cannot fix.
A tale of two formats: ODI success vs T20I collapse
Bangladesh actually won the ODI leg of this same tour 2-1, only to be swept 3-0 in the T20Is. That contrast is worth stating plainly: the same head-to-head opponents, the same tour, and two completely opposite results depending on format.
Practical takeaway for analysts and fans: never assume a team’s form in one format tells you anything reliable about the other. Bangladesh’s ODI batting depth and composure did not transfer to their T20I approach, where the format’s compressed pressure exposed a heavy reliance on one player.

Series Context, Records and Format Guardrail
Series significance
West Indies’ 3-0 sweep was their first-ever clean sweep away from home in the format, according to post-match commentary. It came directly after they had lost the ODI series 2-1 on the same tour a striking swing in fortunes within a single trip.
Format guardrail: don’t mix the ODI and T20I results
| Format | Series result | Correct use |
|---|---|---|
| T20I series (this article) | West Indies won 3-0 | Main article and current scorecard |
| ODI series, same tour | Bangladesh won 2-1 | Separate historical/format-specific article only |
| Bangladesh Women vs West Indies Women | Different team category entirely | Entirely separate article; never blended with the men’s result |
For example, do not present the ODI series result as evidence of “how the tour went” without clearly separating it from this T20I sweep. The two series had opposite outcomes and must be reported as distinct stories.
