T20 World Cup 2021 | Twitter reacts as West Indies inch past Bangladesh in thriller to keep title defence alive

Dwayne Bravo conceded just three in the 17th over, and nine in the 19th despite a first-ball six to set up a thrilling last-over finish in Bangladesh’s run-chase of 143. Andre Russell held his nerve and conceded just four doubles to Mahmudullah, who finished unbeaten on 24-ball 31 but failed to get his team over the line.

Jason Holder (1/22), Akeal Hosein (1/24), and Ravi Rampaul (1/25) rounded off a highly disciplined bowling effort.

Earlier, West Indies had contrasting progressions during their innings after they were put in to bat. They managed 70/4 in the first four overs, before scoring 72 off the final six to finish at 142/7. Chris Gayle, who was back to his opening slot was dismissed for 6, while skipper Kieron Pollard struggled for a major part and retired out himself in a rather surprising move during the 13th over of the innings.
