In a commanding display, the West Indies secured an eight-wicket win against Bangladesh during the Women's T20 World Cup, placing them at the pinnacle of Group B. The team's formidable showing was underscored by a stellar performance from spinner Karishma Ramharack, who orchestrated Bangladesh's downfall at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Pursuing a modest target of 104, West Indies' powerful batting line-up shattered Bangladesh's defense. Captain Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor established a solid base, overcoming early caution to dominate the powerplay with an initial scorecard reading 48/0 after the opening overs.
Despite Bangladesh's efforts to destabilize the game, highlighted by Marufa Akter's dismissal of Matthews with a deft 109.4kph delivery, Taylor capitalized on a fielding lapse by Sobhana Mostary, achieving 27 runs before retiring hurt. With Deandra Dottin's decisive boundary, West Indies clinched victory with ample overs in hand.
