Who won Bangladesh vs West Indies 2nd ODI today? — Match result & turning points

In the second ODI at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, the West Indies edged past Bangladesh in a Super Over to level the three-match ODI series 1-1. Both teams finished tied on 213 after 50 overs, leading to a Super Over finish. The match was historic as the West Indies bowled 50 consecutive overs of spin, the first instance in ODI history. Shai Hope’s half-century and Akeal Hosein’s bowling in the Super Over sealed the game for the visitors. Bangladesh, despite Rishad Hossain’s late fireworks and bowling efforts, fell just short of completing the win at home.

Top batting performances of the match —  Shai Hope

West Indies captain Shai Hope once again anchored his side with a 53 off 67 balls. Hope’s innings came at a time when wickets kept falling around him, as West Indies slipped to 133 for 7 in the 34th over. Partnering with Justin Greaves (26) and later Akeal Hosein (16), Hope guided the chase to a tie. Earlier, Bangladesh’s Soumya Sarkar (45 off 89) looked in fine touch with the bat, while Rishad Hossain’s 39 off just 14 balls* gave the hosts much-needed momentum at the death.

Best bowling spells — Rishad Hossain

Young leg-spinner Rishad Hossain was the standout bowler for Bangladesh, returning figures of 3 for 42 in his 10 overs. He dismissed batters Athanaze, Carty, and Motie to trigger a West Indies collapse. For the visitors, Gudakesh Motie was the most successful bowler with 3 for 65, despite being taken apart by Rishad’s late onslaught. Akeal Hosein (2/41) and part-timer Alick Athanaze (2/14 off 10 overs) also played crucial roles.

Records Broken and Major Milestones Achieved

• West Indies created history on Tuesday, bowling all 50 overs of spin in the second ODI against Bangladesh, a first in the history of ODIs. The visitors opted for an all-spin attack, completely sidelining their only pacer, Justin Greaves. The decision paid off as Bangladesh were restricted to 213/7. Part-timer Alick Athanaze impressed with figures of 2/14 from 10 overs, while left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie bagged three wickets. This also broke Sri Lanka’s long-standing record of 44 overs of spin in an innings, set in 1996.

Who was the Player of the Match?

The Player of the Match award went to Shai Hope for his 53 not out and 13 runs in the Super Over, which ultimately clinched the game for the West Indies. His efforts under pressure stood out, especially during the chase when wickets kept falling at regular intervals.

What is the next match?

With the series now level at 1-1, the contest will move to the third and final ODI, which will be played at the same venue in Dhaka on October 23, 2025. Both teams will look to seal the three-match fixture and take the trophy with them.
